Joyce loves being a part of an international business since joining Global Mamas in July 2007.

Joyce Aboagye, Batiker
Batiking & Sewing Center (Cape Coast)

Joyce Aboagye, a recent addition to the Global Mamas batikers, is enjoying newfound business selling her creations abroad. She grew up in the Eastern Region of Ghana but eventually moved to the Central Region where she met her auto-electrician husband. Cape Coast soon became her home where she opened her own seamstress and batiking business, <i> El-Shadaye Fashion and Batik</i>. With the help of her Global Mamas sales, Joyce is sending her two boys, ages six and nine, to a local school as well as employing four junior apprentices. According to Joyce, who was introduced to Global Mamas by a seamstress friend, &#34;Global Mamas is good. We need more customers from abroad.&#34;   Joyce has been fortunate to keep all of her old clients, and her business is continuing to do very well. For Joyce, the most engaging part of her work is developing new designs and, of course, wearing them around the Cape Coast area. She believes non-governmental organizations, like Women in Progress, are a great way to empower women and offer them a way to provide more for their families.
