This fan is hand-dyed and handwoven from Ghanaian vetiver grass, known for its soil and water conservation benefits. It features a sturdy leather handle, making it both portable and travel-size, ideal for use at home or on the go. Its elegant design also makes it a beautiful piece of wall decor. Vetiver grass, also called elephant grass, plays a vital role in environmental rehabilitation, aiding smallholder farmers with efforts like erosion control, runoff retention, and the remediation of polluted land and water. By supporting this fan, you contribute to the well-being of both artisans and the environment. These fans are produced by women weavers in Ghana, many of whom are smallholder farmers. As members of the Fair Trade Federation, the organization partners directly with these women to ensure fair trade practices. The sale of these woven goods provides supplemental income, improving the livelihoods of their families, and supports the economic viability of smallholder farming, empowering women farmers to maintain control of their land.
