WOMEN IN PROGRESS INC (dba Global Mamas)

Women in Progress Inc. is the U.S. nonprofit legal entity that operates as Global Mamas, a fair‑trade social enterprise founded in 2003 that develops markets and capacity for women artisans in Ghana. The organization’s work focuses on creating sustainable, living‑wage jobs through handcrafted textiles, beadwork, shea products and other goods while providing training in business, quality control and health and wellness. Global Mamas runs an integrated production and export program that partners with several hundred producer partners across multiple Ghanaian communities; it reports annual revenues in the mid‑hundred‑thousands and consistently directs the large majority of its expenses to program activities. In the last 2–3 years the organization has continued product development and capacity building (including a partnership‑focused initiative branded “Fibers of Change”), has sustained direct wage payments to producer partners, and has publicly communicated operational impacts from currency and market fluctuations affecting export revenue.
