In the Nabdam district, Upper East Ghana, we are supporting women collectives who make shea butter and the popular bolgatanga baskets. The volunteer who will work with them will be responsible for supporting the women in making their business more visible, helping them to create a process for accepting orders online, helping them to develop quality control measures and bringing a fresh perspective to their products. You will join a team of 3 volunteers working on different topics in the Nabdam District and contribute to Mondo's overall goal of reducing inequalities around the world. The deployment is for 2-4 months
