Women weavers in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana are earning a sustainable income as they craft this colorful distinctive elephant grass basket using traditional techniques, patterns, and colors. Handmade decorative basket is great for taking to the grocery store, farmer's market, or on road trips! Due to handmade nature, size, shape, and color may vary. Dimensions: 18"h x 15"w x 10"d
SERRV International has partnered with basket weavers in Ghana, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, more than 940 basket makers from 17 different communities near the city of Bolgatanga receive a fair price for each handmade "Bolga" basket, as well as access to business skills training, financial services, raw materials, and marketing outlets. Funds from basket sales are also invested in the community, including construction of gathering shelters for production and straw storage "banks," which allows the organization to purchase and store natural elephant grass in bulk.
