Explore the Heart of Ghana
Ghana is a place where creativity pulses through daily life—from the red earth of the north to the bold patterns of kente cloth. In the Upper East Region, basket weaving is a generational craft known for its strength, detail, and bold color. Women harvest elephant grass from the savanna, drying, dyeing, and weaving it into forms that are as durable as they are beautiful. Each basket is rooted in pride—in the land, the tradition, and the artistry passed from mother to daughter.
When We Arrived
Since 2004, we’ve worked side-by-side with communities in Ghana—drawn by the artistry of local weavers and the barriers they faced in earning dependable, dignified wages. We found women with deep pride in their work but few opportunities to reach global markets. Through long-term partnerships and 2.5x Prosperity Wages, we’ve helped turn that talent into lasting opportunity. With each basket, you take part in something rooted in tradition, and built to endure.
