Kongo Village, Ghana
Cur síos ar an ngníomhaíocht
Mondo and its partner in Ghana, Kongo Community Development Association have been supporting women collectives for about a decade now. The collectives are widows and single mothers who have been trained and are highly skilled in making shea butter products and weaving the famous colourful "Bolgatanga" baskets. Over the years, through the support of Mondo, they have created links with partners in Europe and North America - shipping their fairtrade products. We are looking for a volunteer to help them scale their business and support them in creating seamless processes to make their activities more environmentally ethical and develop some new products. The volunteers daily activities will be engaging with both the shea butter and basket weaving group to understand their activities.Socruithe lóistín, bia agus iompair
