About Tumi Ghana
Tumi Ghana is a social enterprise that creates sustainable income opportunities for women in Kumasi.
In our Women Empowerment Center, young women are trained to become seamstresses and designers. These women are also coached on entrepreneurial skills, such as administration and marketing. In addition, they receive sex education and access to free birth control. This results in skilled and independent women who can take care of themselves and their children.

Empowerment
Non-profit
Self supporting
Our dream is to become 100% self-supporting
Our goal is not only to achieve financial independence for the women that join our project, but also for the project itself. That is why we run Tumi Hostel and sell the handmade products made in our Women Empowerment Centre. Tumi Hostel is located on the same premises as our Women Empowerment Center, and is rated with a 9.4 on booking.com. The hostel and the sales of our products finance the Women Empowerment Centre, create jobs and supports the local economy.

Our Partners
Without our highly appreciated partners we would not be the organization we are today. Being self sufficient as an NGO does not mean we are not looking for collaborations with others. The partners we have today help us in expanding and professionalizing our social enterprise.
