#IAMHEDZOLE
Hedzole’ – Freedom Through Sustainable Impact
Hedzole’ is a social impact initiative under the umbrella of BASICS International, dedicated to empowering women and men through skill training and sustainable economic growth.
Each Hedzole’ product is individually crafted with creativity and skill, reflecting the artistry and resilience of our producers.
Sustainability at Our Core
Our eco-friendly products are made from:
- Plastic Waste
- Textile Waste
- Locally Sourced Fabrics
By repurposing materials that would otherwise contribute to pollution, we are committed to zero waste production, ensuring a greener planet while creating opportunities for artisans.
A Business Model with Purpose
100 percent of the proceeds create impact.
- Our producers earn above fair wages through a profit-sharing model that fosters economic independence.
- The remaining shared profits fund BASICS International’s mission, providing nutritious meals to more than 100 children daily, year-round.
Every purchase of a Hedzole’ product is a step toward freedom—for our artisans, our communities, and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Are These Women Trained?
Each woman goes through an extensive 6 week training that covers how to use a sewing machine, proper stitching, how to use a cutting board and everything she will need to become a successful seamstress. We have sewing teachers come in from around the world to teach our seamstresses new techniques and how to create new products.
Are These Women Compensated?
We are proud to say that every single day our women are learning something new while earning an income to sustain themselves and their families. Each woman has a bank account and is taught how to save and make smart financial decisions for her future. The growth we have witnessed is astounding.
How Can These Women be Supported
You can support #IAMHEDZOLE and a woman finding her own freedom by purchasing a ready-made product or by making an order for custom designs. In addition, we sew for bulk orders and we have the ability to use authentic Ghanaian/African fabrics. We create table runners, bags, oven mitts, bed runners, patchwork quilts- you name it, we can stitch it.
