Upon saving his earnings as a bead maker with Global Mamas, Djabanor hopes to build a house for his children and to further his children's schooling so they can pursue a career outside of bead making.

Steven "Kofi" Djabanor, Bead Maker
Bead-Making Center (Krobo)

Djabanor, a Sabrino village native, has been working in his family bead-making business for over 25 years, following in the footsteps of his grandparents, his parents and his siblings. Djabanor works alongside his wife, who also partakes in the family business, and describes bead making as a lengthy process, a skill which he learned at the age of 12. You must first grind glass bottles into fine powder, then color the powder with various dyes and carefully layer the colored powder within the bead molds. Djabanor says the beauty of the bead is within the color combinations of the glass, it is no wonder that Global Mamas loves his beads! But with having to support his retired parents, his brother's children and five children of his own, Djabanor takes the utmost consideration when preparing beads for his sole customer, Global Mamas.
