The seamstresses of Lady Volta Batik.

Lady Volta Batik, Batik & Sewing
Batiking & Sewing Center (Ho)

Lady Volta Batik in Ho, Ghana was designed to give seamstresses and batikers in the region the opportunity to earn a fair wage creating Global Mamas clothing products. Global Mamas is constantly working to expand its fair trade business throughout the country, and the cooperative in Ho has become one of its more recent partners. With the help of its sister organization, Village Exchange Ghana in Ho, the cooperative in the region has already employed a handful of women, providing them with a wage and work environment that they otherwise, most likely, wouldn't have received in other lines of work. The cooperative tries to target young women with little or no education, since they are often the ones that experience the greatest amount of difficulty in finding work. The constant, year-round business from Global Mamas provides the workers with a steady, dependable income and also, a sense of pride in the fact that their work is going towards helping other young women like themselves.
