At Global Mamas in Accra, Ghana, you walk into a burst of colors. This small shop showcasing the work of local artisans is filled with dresses, aprons, tablecloths and quilts made from batik fabrics in bright colors that you thought were only made for the sweetest candies. A red-and-white polka dot dress, hot pink zebra print napkins, and a blue and purple cloth bag covered in roses caught my eye. The store is loaded with all sorts of other souvenirs from beaded necklaces to books featuring photographs of local kids. Everything is well-made and well-priced and all proceeds from purchases go back to the women who made the items.
