Global Mamas | Fair Trade | Handmade in Ghana

Global Mamas is an ethical fashion brand offering unique products for individuals who love living life in full color. For two decades we’ve partnered with skilled craftswomen in Ghana to create high-quality garments using traditional techniques.

From stamping the hand batiked cotton, to serging dress hems for a lasting finish, we are vertically integrated and verified by the World Fair Trade Organization as ensuring ethical production at every level. We’re proud to offer vibrant products defined by classic cuts and signature style to customers around the world, while providing over 300 West African women with the opportunity to achieve financial independence to do what's best for themselves and their families.

Gender inequality contributes to a cycle of discrimination in both the private and public sphere. Inside the home, women may lack voice in household decision-making and girls are often the first to be denied access to education and good nutrition if the household budget is insufficient to cover expenses. Outside the home, women experience diminished options for work, most often limited to low-paying, low-skill jobs with little opportunity for advancement.  In fact, while women’s work represents 66% of the world’s working hours and produces half of the world’s food, women earn only 10% of the world’s income and own less than 1% of the world’s property. Thus, women bear a disproportionate burden of the world’s poverty, a phenomenon termed the “feminization of poverty”. According to some estimates, females represent 70% of the world’s poor.

Global Mamas believes that the most effective way for women to achieve prosperity is to gain economic independence through sustainable employment. Global Mamas provides steady work in addition to equitable opportunities for women entrepreneurs to obtain the education, technology and capital they need to meet their personal and professional goals. Empowering women through income generation and continuing education enhances both their self-esteem and their ability to participate in decisions that affect them within the home and community. These empowered Mamas are great role models for their kids and they’re also sending 100% of their kids to school. Our model is to empower Mamas that then empowers girls’ education.
