Protect Existing Jobs for 300+ Women in Ghana

With over two decades of pioneering fair trade, we remain humbled by our community's resilience, commitment, and inventive spirit. Amid growing economic hurdles, including the surge in fast fashion consumption, it becomes even more crucial to adjust our strategies and think creatively to meet the needs of the Mamas and customers without compromising our values.

Through the GlobalGiving platform, we have the opportunity to meet those needs head-on with confidence.  Thanks to your generous donations thus far, women in the Global Mamas network can offer better quality nutrition, health care, and education for their families through sustainable income opportunities. They pay off debts, save for their futures, and enhance their skills. Right now, that work is at risk.

We are still more than $13K away from meeting our goal. We hope you continue to partner with us. Each donation will get us closer to our goal, helping us to sustain and create more employment opportunities for women in Ghana through the Global Mamas approach.  We encourage you to also share our project with your friends and family. This helps us spread the word about our work and continue to grow our community of supporters like you. If you’re willing to share the story of our work with your network, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your continued support. And stay tuned for more updates. Medaase Pa.

Thanks to you and your incredible generosity through the 20 for 20 Campaign, we have seen great achievements within our Global Mamas community personally and as an organization. Here are just a few highlights:

• The Mamas (and Papas) at each location were able to take some much-needed time to reflect and celebrate the many accomplishments of 2023 during their end-of-year celebrations!
• As it is International Women’s Month, we believe investing in women has remarkable ripple effects, benefiting the Mamas, their loved ones, and the larger community. We’re thrilled to highlight the personal accomplishments of Jennifer, a tremendously talented seamstress and cherished member of our Global Mamas family since 2009. Her journey has enabled her to support her daughter's education, also named Jennifer, who's now a thriving professional nurse. 
• We've made significant strides by implementing solar energy at the Fair Trade Zone (FTZ), courtesy of a grant for Small-Scale Projects from the German Embassy in Accra, geared toward the Solar Mamas project. The results have been extraordinary, with solar power now covering about 70% of our energy demands, a figure we're confident will rise with some fine-tuning.
• The leadership team members were able to gather together and set their new goals for the year. Each team engaged in this process which will guide our organization’s activities in the coming months.

Thank you for continuing to support our mission of creating a space where women thrive. We know that as women become powerful role models, their children and their communities will flourish.
