The Power of a Global Community!

By Tekia S Thompson | Community Outreach Manager

For more than 20 years, we’ve witnessed the power of community through strong, long-term relationships with the Mamas, employees, partner producers, customers, volunteers, interns, and you, our incredible donors. As mentioned in our last report, thanks to your awesome generosity, we were able to decrease the expected pay cuts for staff from 10 to 5%. Moreover, those donations allowed us to keep production going, sustaining us through the first part of 2026 and resulting in our largest batik order to date - over 15,000 yards of custom-designed fabric is now being produced by the Mamas! That’s right,15,000 yards! We would not have been able to secure such an order without your support.

Now for the biggest update! Your partnership has enabled us to completely eliminate pay cuts for our ENTIRE staff in Ghana and the U.S. As you can imagine, our team breathed a collective sigh of relief after receiving the news…and that’s hugely thanks to you! Thank you for being part of a community that creates positive and lasting change. We are committed to sustainable growth, and that cannot happen without you.

With so many organizations vying for your attention, we know there are a lot of other groups you could have chosen to champion. We consider it a privilege and an honor that you continue to choose us. Through your kindness, you have demonstrated the power of a global community. Stay tuned for more news as we continue in our mission of partnering with African women to create a life of prosperity.  

Medaase Pa!
