Meet the Versatile Team
Our team, led by Jonah Aniire Ayinga who has over fifteen years of experience in the basket market and has participated in quite a number of international fairs, collectively has significant experience in rural small business, rural women groups’ formation, products development and market needs assessment capacity in the art industry. Indeed our Bolga Baskets are genuinely and exclusively woven by the indigenous people of Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region of Ghana. For many generations,
weaving has been a traditional skill.
The infertile soil and unfavorable weather conditions in the area is not ideal for agricultural based farming therefore the people of
Bolgatanga have found basket weaving an alternate means of making a living. In addition, our team combines an appropriate mix of skills driven largely by our quality educational and professional qualifications and the hands-on experience gained from participation in diversified and challenging assignments over the years across different industries in a number of institutions.
