According to Muhire, it was not easy to start a fashion business in Rwanda at that time as my people did not have an idea how clothes can be made and produced in Rwanda.

" When I opened, everyone liked Chagua (second-hand clothes) and no one wanted to buy made-in-Rwanda clothes. We had to keep pushing and find new ways to approach Rwandans and even we used to explain to them the best to wear clothes that knowing who is the designer" said Muhire

 "Few months into the operation of Inkanda House, many women came into this fashion career and I was amazed to see them grow. However, they had to keep pushing as well and this was my advice to them. So, that is why the " NDABAGA " collection is named in the memories of those all Rwanda women fashion designers who made it and still making it to building our fashion industry and keeping it alive" said Muhire
