Hemma creates fresh, elegant collections using authentic hand-woven Kente, a textile rich in African royal tradition. Kente began to flourish in West Africa in the 17th century and still remains prominent representing social prestige, luxury, and cultural sophistication. Each garment is uniquely handmade from intricately hand-woven Kente imported from Ghana. By incorporating the same techniques used to dress Ghanaian nobility for centuries, Hemma allows each client to exude royalty. By investing in quality pieces that last a lifetime, the lives of Ghanaian school children are also impacted. A percentage of all proceeds will be donated to a West African middle school where the designers instructed classes.

Give the Gift of Education for the Holidays!

Give the gift that continues giving this holiday by improving education for the youth in Ghana, West Africa. Along with Hemma we created THE HEMMA FOUNDATION to raise money for La Yahoushua Junior Secondary School, where we taught in Ghana. 100% of the money donated to The Hemma Foundation benefits the school in the following ways -

-Scholarships

-Payment for the mandatory student uniforms

-School supplies and textbooks

-Payment for teachers

To give you an idea of how much your donation can impact a child, $20 is equivalent to a years tuition.

Read more about this Not For Profit and donate securely through Paypal.

Thank you for your generosity and for changing the lives of hundreds of students!!
We will publicize all of the wonderful things we are able to do after the New Year so you can see how you helped!
