The fair wage we provide increases income ten-fold in many cases, which then filters into local economies and communities. The results: Skilled African Women Weave Our Creations and Forever Change Their Worlds. The material used for weaving in Bolgatanga is elephant grass, this grass is only available in the southern part of Ghana, Kumasi to be precise. The grasses are harvested and dried up, a process which might take up to three (3) days. It is then tied together in big bundles and transported to the Bolga markets. This is where most of the weavers buy their raw materials. The straw grass is further processed before weaving begins.
Straw is collected and split then rolled/twisted for texture.
Straw is dyed to give a vibrant color before weaving begins.
