    • About Us

    We work with the most marginalized group in Ghanaian society- the kayayei women and children. Our goal is to help them get off the streets and find sustainable employment by equipping them with a trade or skill. We also focus on promoting eco-friendly products by using upcycled materials to create products that we sell with the hope of becoming self-sustaining.
