#Teena The Northern Narrative #Nafisa Handbag



The Nafisa Handbag is dedicated to, inspired by, and named after Nafisa Adams: a young, inventive and industrious woman from Upper East region of Ghana. Nafisa runs Beads of Hope, an inspirational project premised on empowering locally based women by crafting simple bead jewellery, thus enabling economic agency. 

After using bead making to put herself through University, Nafisa has expanded the project into a thriving local business that helps women earn an honest and dignified living, while providing sustainable livelihoods to families challenged by poverty. Due to its great success, Beads of Hope has begun employing young boys and girls from neighbouring Navrongo and Bolga to help pay their book and school fees.



Nafisa gives us hope. Hope for the North. Hope for Ghana. Hope for Africa.
