BaBa Blankets

“I am writing to let you know that we had an absolutely delightful visit at BaBa Blankets workshop on Saturday. Beatrice couldn’t have been warmer or more welcoming to us. She answered all of our 101 questions and explained all the phases of your operations to us. My husband, Lee, and I were very impressed with the women who are working there as well as the studio and the environment. We loved the wishes bulletin board and were quite taken by the fact that the cooperative is supporting other young women up north. How empowering that must be to the women who are working together at BaBa Blankets . . . . Thank you for giving us new hope. Sometimes we get discouraged after almost three years in Ghana when we see so much “business as usual.” BaBa Blankets is proof that a real business can grow and thrive in Ghana. What a difference you’ve made in the women’s lives and in the lives of all the people they share their lives with. Congratulations!” - Susan B. Hester, Ph.D.




BaBa BlanketsVISITING OUR GHANA STUDIO

If you are in Accra, we’d love to welcome you in our studio. Please give us a call so that we can schedule a time for your visit. It takes approximately 45 minutes to reach our studio from central Accra.

Directions for your convenience:

We are located on the outskirts of Accra just off the Winneba road between McCarthy Hill and Kasoa. From Accra, take the Winneba road (as if you are leaving Accra to go to Cape Coast), after going through Malam Junction and passing McCarthy Hill on your right, you will go through Weija. Stay on the Winneba road headed towards what is commonly known as "Old Barrier". When you reach this junction known as "Old Barrier" (it is a traffic light), you will see a sign pointing you left towards Bortianor (you will also see a huge billboard on your right for the Cresta Resort). Turn left on Bortianor road to go towards the Cresta Resort. Go up this road (about a 1/4 mile) until you see your first dirt road on the right (there is also a large white sign for Vicar Int'l School at this junction). Turn right on this first dirt road. Our studio is the very first house that you'll see on the right (it is a walled compound with a BaBa Blankets sign on the gate).

A World Class Story!

This is the story behind BaBa Blankets. (Watch the video here). It is a story about many girls from Ghana's northern region who are otherwise known as "kaya yo" or load carriers. Their dream to change their lives by learning to sew was the inspiration behind the BaBa Blankets social enterprise.
