Dzidefo Women's Coop
The Dzidefo Women’s Cooperative is a small textile cooperative of five young women from the Volta Region of Ghana who make toddler clothing and home accessories, such as laundry bags and cushion covers. The income generated by their work goes toward much needed daily essentials like food, medication, and educational fees.
The fabric used by the cooperative is pure Ghanaian cotton. It is locally designed and printed, using authentic traditional Ghanaian patterns and hand-dyed woodblock prints.
The cooperative was established in January 2008 under the guidance of volunteer Peta Hall and operates out of the Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage.
