The FTZ employs more than 80 full-time employees (primarily Mamas with a few Papas) and extends its reach to provide additional livelihoods by partnering with bead makers and water hyacinth harvesters in the surrounding communities.

Batiking & Sewing (Cape Coast)

Cape Coast is home to our largest production location and was the first Global Mamas location. It was here that our founding Mamas came together in 2003 to produce the first Global Mamas product line. Today the Cape Coast Global Mamas community comprises nearly 100 independent, women-owned businesses. In Cape Coast our Mamas are batikers and seamstresses who work from their own shops or from their homes.
