Supporting 49 Basket weaving communities in the Bolatanga Region of Ghana, Tradeaid Integrated provides support to the women weavers so they can sell their baskets at a fair market price. They also provide a ‘Straw Bank” buying the straw in bulk at opportune times to keep prices down for the communities who may not be able to afford the cost of buying in small quantities.
We often work closely with the makers to create bespoke colour ways of mats and baskets. Other training is also provided to the women to teach the communities new skills including product development, book keeping and marketing.
