Effie Takyi, Weaver
Weaving Center (Ajumako)
After joining Global Mamas a year and a half ago, Effie has already seen her sewing business grow, supplying her with a better income than her previous work as a farmer. At 52 years old and the oldest woman in the Global Mamas co-op, Effie knows that her work is important to her family's future, using her income to pay for her three children's school fees. Since her work with Global Mamas began, Effie has experienced increased productivity by purchasing a sewing machine; and she enjoys her additional work as a weaver.
