The Miracle Basket

ASIGE Basketry project plays an important role in the development of rural Ghana especially women and girls. With just straw from elephant grass ASIGE transforms them into innovative and modern stylish products that are capable of replacing everything that rubbers are being used for in the home and outdoor events.

Saving the Planet of Rubber Pollution

Beauty, elegance and creativity is our hallmark. A purchase of a single vase empowers rural women and builds sustainable communities. With the ASIGE multi purpose pot baskets that can be use in the home as well as offices, we believe that  purchase and use of this baskets will not empower women but contribute to a reduction in rubber pollution.

The future belongs to those who imagine it, those who dream it, those who visualized it, those who make it happen and those who live by it

The Impact of Basket Trade on Poverty Reduction

Ghana's economy is dominated by women in the informal sector  which accounts for trade volumes from the north to the south or even cross border trade with neighboring Burkina Faso, Togo and Ivory Coast.  A critical examination of this economy shows how relevant it is to poverty eradication in Ghana and Sub Saharan Africa.  Most of the women engage in Agriculture produce, retailing of imported manufactured goods, textile, crafts and food. We can conclusively agree that without the work of women in the informal economy,  Ghana would have experienced extreme poverty and hunger.
