Fair Trade Artisans: Ghana:Trade Aid Integrated. The Upper East region is the most impoverished area of Ghana, with 90% of the people living below the poverty line. Trade Aid Integrated finds employment for the rural poor of northern Ghana. Generations of women from 17 different communities near Bolgatonga, have learned to weave the distinctive and brightly-colored bolga baskets, using sturdy elephant grass, which grows along rivers and streams, and other natural fibers. Through fair trade, members of Trade Aid are paid a fair price for each basket and additional funds are invested in the community.
