African Market Basket

African Market Baskets are woven by hand by artisans in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Bolgatanga is close to the edge of the Sahara Desert. The people are traditionally farmers and herdsman, but the dry climate, with its brief rainy season when it rains constantly, makes agriculture difficult. As a result, basket weaving is the main income for this region.

Proceeds from basket sales help provide health, education and financial support to over 1,000 African villagers and their children. 

African Market Baskets are strong, durable, colorful and entirely hand-made. Each basket is unique. You can use them for groceries and farmer’s markets, picnics, storing toys, holding magazines, and for simple home décor.
