Community

Welcome to the heart of Zaarefolks – our community.

At Zaarefolks, our community is the cornerstone of everything we do. We are proud to be part of the vibrant Zaare community in Bolgatanga, Ghana, where over 150 talented artisans use their skills to create our exquisite handmade baskets. These artisans are the soul of Zaarefolks, and we are committed to supporting them through fair wages, sustainable jobs, and empowering opportunities, especially for women.

Our Artisans Meet the incredible artisans behind our baskets. Each member of our community brings their unique touch to their work, weaving intricate designs with precision and care. Their dedication and craftsmanship are reflected in every product, making each piece a true work of art.
