Hannah Dodoo, Seamstress
Batiking & Sewing Center (Cape Coast)

Hannah Dodoo proved herself as a talented seamstress when she placed second in the national sewing competition "Wax Style 1998 GTP." Hannah's talent and passion for sewing was perfected while she lived in Germany, studying design with a focus on pattern making. In 1982, Hannah began her own seamstress shop with a small bank loan. Starting in her own home with no apprentices, she has come a very long way. Now "Hadod Fashions," her busy shop in the Cape Coast market, employs seven apprentices and nine workers. Hannah's future plan is to purchase a computer this year and use it for designing. Hannah's hard work with Global Mamas has allowed her to share her welfare with her employees. For example, one worker was finally able to rent a house, and another was able to assist her spouse in expanding his business.
