ASIME
A not-for-profit clothing brand made ethically in Ghana
Africa is now one of the fastest growing continents and is both resourceful and abundantly creative. A not-for-profit clothing brand made ethically in Ghana, donating profits to Dream Big Ghana NGO. Asime stems from two friends who have come together to create a socially responsible clothing brand, working with small businesses in Ghana and supporting the outstanding work of the Dream Big Ghana foundation. Since 2010, Dream Big Ghana NGO’s mission has been to transform the lives of people in two very poor costal communities in the Volta Region, Dzita and Dzita-Agbledomi, improving access to sanitation, health care and educationally focused opportunities.
