Proceeds from the sale of these baskets help to provide healthcare, school fees, and community buildings for the weavers and their children.
Bolgatanga is the largest town in the Upper East region of Ghana, about 20 miles South of the Burkina Faso border and very close to the edge of the Sahara Desert. The climate is extremely dry except for one rainy season which lasts about 2 or 3 months, making agriculture very difficult. As a result, basket weaving is the main income for this region.
The supplier is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. For 20 years they have used Fair Trade principles in all their dealings and have worked with many of the same artisans for over a decade, supporting them and their extended families while working together to bring these African baskets to the American market. One of the greatest parts of importing from Africa is seeing the positive impact they have on the many artisans and their families.

Great Basket
"I already have this basket. . . I love it so much that I had to have another one!"
The Cutest!
"I love my basket. At first I was worried about colors being too garish, but I love the colors. It currently holds a spindle, scissors, yarn, combs, and some misc other stuff- I love that you can wet to re-shape, and they are closely woven enough that I am not worried about things falling through gaps, catching on the basket, or getting splinters like with most inexpensive baskets you find in stores today."
I absolutely love my basket!
"I absolutely love my basket! It is perfect for carrying around my current project and it looks lovely sitting next to my favorite chair!"
