In the heart of northern Ghana's
Bolgatanga region are a group of women whose works you simply must
see! Progressive Women's Association is a cooperative of women who
live in the poorest area of Ghana, the Upper East Region.
In order to make up for the
difficult living conditions and lack of income during the dry season,
caused by drought, these women are creating beautiful things so
that they can continue to care for their families. About half of
the families in the Upper East Region depend on their crafts to
support them through this hard time of the year.
Thanks to the ladies at P.W.A
you can bring a little of the wonderful Ghanaian culture into your
home. You should have no problem finding their works since their
products are featured in virtually every section of Mama's site.
Mama loves these women and
their work. Thanks to the ladies' hospitality in welcoming Mama
Afrika into their lives, you are now able to appreciate their work,
while helping them continue to live their lives in dignity.
