Little Proba and the Toni Garrn Foundation Collaborated with Girls in Ghana
Katherine Pendrill — December 22, 2021 — Social Good
In an effort to empower women worldwide and help to close the gender gap in education, Little Proba has teamed up with the Toni Garrn Foundation to create a series of striking rugs.
Little Proba is an art studio that recently held virtual workshops for young students in Ghana. During these lessons, the girls created one-of-kind art pieces, which Little Proba then turned into posters and rugs. In total, there are 27 unique rug designs to choose from, and each is made from high-quality New Zealand wool and bamboo silk. Meanwhile, the posters are printed on 330 GSM paper with archival ink, and come in three different dimensions.
100% of the proceeds of the TGFxLittle Proba collection go to the Toni Garrn Foundation, which is an organization that provides young girls with access to education.
