Global Mamas

Global Mamas is a fair trade organization located in Ghana, West Africa, supporting the sustainable development of women artisans by producing and exporting fair trade products. They work with nearly 500 women artisans in nine communities who make handmade products using traditional art forms, such as batiking.
 
Global Mamas reduces the economic inequality of women by significantly increasing the revenues and profits of woman-owned businesses in Ghana. This in turn increases employee wages, generates new jobs and improves the standard of living. Global Mamas believes that helping women gain economic independence is the most effective way to reduce dependence on foreign aid and steadily create a prosperous society.

Global Mamas is the name brand for goods produced through the efforts of Women in Progress, an international not-for-profit organization assisting women of Africa in attaining economic independence. All proceeds made by Global Mamas' sales go directly to the women producing the merchandise and to the business development programs carried out by Women in Progress.
