Madam Dorcas, Chairlady - Kenya
"We started as a small group but now we've grown not just in numbers, but also as individuals. Our members are able to support their families and supplement the income they get from farming. To everyone that buys these baskets, we say Asante sana sana (Thank you so so much)."

The Basket Room now partners with twenty weaving cooperatives in rural Kenya and Ghana. Over the past two years, we have grown together as ethical businesses through a mutual respect for craft, people and the environment."We wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to the customers who buy our bolga baskets, which create employment for our women in Ghana. We say thank you and we wish to continue to do business with you next year."
