Faustina Dadzie, Seamstress
Batiking & Sewing Center (Cape Coast)

Faustina recently branched out on her own, after working with another Global Mama, Obayaa, for several years. The 32-yr-old seamstress set up her workshop on the veranda of her family home, in a quiet suburb of Cape Coast, but found it tough getting business. She struggled on for nearly six months but her income was just a few dollars a month and she relied on her parents, a pastor, and a teacher for support. At the end of 2006, she was taken on as a Global Mama herself and is absolutely delighted to be given the chance to use her skills and earn her own money. "I love my work. When Global Mamas asked me [to work with them], I was very happy. I don't want to sit down and be idle". Faustina studied 4 years at vocational school learning sewing, millinery and jewellery-making, and she is keen to pass on her skills. Faustina has already taken on 2 workers to help her with the anticipated workload. Once she has saved enough money, she wants to open up her own shop and help disadvantaged people make handicrafts.
