Pre-Ghana Trip HELP NEEDED

Our Goal
We're building a new facility in Hohoe, Ghana! As our business is expanding, so is our workforce. Thus, it has come time for us to build a new workspace in Hohoe - and we need your help!

Our goal is to provide a comfortable work environment in which our women will enjoy and take pride working.

Currently, our space is only big enough for only 4 or 5 women to work comfortably. The new space would have room for at least 18 seamstresses working simultaneously.

That would mean more women in Ghana gaining skills training, jobs, and education, as well as Della's expansion.

Our new facilities will include:
-Windows with mosquito screens
-Running water
-Bathrooms with showers
-Clean carpets
-Fans
-Break/lounge space
-Sleeping quarters, for the many of our employees who travel long distances to work and learn with us
Who We Are...
Della is an accessory line that empowers women of Hohoe, Ghana through jobs, education, and skills training.

L.A. designer, Tina Tangalakis, teamed up with Hohoe seamstress Beatrice Agabe, after realizing their shared love for design and their passions to improve the lives of others.

All our bags are made with one-of-a-kind Ghanian fabrics, by seamstresses working under Beatrice's mentorship.

Della is committed to building a foundation for economic independence.
