I love being able to promote local enterprises. In Ghana women often organise themselves into co-operatives to market their produce.
Sirigu village houses
Sirigu village in Northern Ghana asks you to share the joy of art & culture with them. You can explore the village through their website. The village is known for traditional architecture, pottery and wall designs. A co-operative of women have formed an organisation to promote their pottery and art called SWOPA – Sirigu women organisation of pottery and art.
