Our Why
For every few steps taken through the major cities of Ghana, one will likely locate a fashion/tailoring shop. However, research shows that Ghana spent USD 294 million on clothing imports in 2019 alone. An indication that a high percentage of the nation’s apparel requirements are imported. Again, 80% of local tailors/seamstresses do not implement or lack the fundamental principles and standards of fashion design, resulting in subpar or poor finishing, and leaving customers disappointed. Meanwhile, there is a paucity of well-thought-out policies that train the skilled force for 21st-century industrial fashion manufacturing—a solution that could create thousands of jobs. We at Gamel Clodin Enterprise are striving to change the narrative.
Our Solution fills this void by offering tailored programs that equip artisans with the skills required for 21st-century industrial fashion manufacturing, a future where local tailors produce garments of impeccable quality that rival international standards. This, in turn, will reduce the nation’s dependence on clothing imports, strengthen the local economy, and provide fashion designers, tailors and seamstresses with a 20% -30% increase in their income levels.
