Maata N Tudu, Ghana, Africa - Meet the Fair Trade Artisans

Women in Northern Ghana are working to preserve the tradition of grass basket weaving through their fair trade cooperative. Through our partner Fair Trade organization, women benefit from having baskets purchased directly through them and shipped overseas.

Many in rural Ghana still live on less than $2/day, and fair trade is one solution to economic empowerment and self-sufficiency. The elephant grass baskets of the women of Maata N Tudu are among the most popular and functional items at A Better Footprint as they display an arrange of colors and styles that delight our supporters.

Support these artisans by buying their products in our fair trade store.
