Volo Fashion Showcase: Luxury, Legacy & Sustainability in Ghana

Help Us Empower the Next Generation of Sustainable Fashion Designers in Ghana!

I am raising $10,000 to bring the 2nd Annual Volo Fashion Showcase & Competition to Ghana this April 2025! This event is more than just a fashion show—it’s a platform for emerging designers, a celebration of luxury and legacy, and a movement toward sustainable fashion education in Africa. Last year, we made history in Volo, Ghana, by giving six aspiring designers a global stage to showcase their talent. This year, we’re expanding our impact—offering training, mentorship, and resources to help these designers turn their dreams into reality.

Why This Matters:
 • Empowering Local Talent – We are giving young designers the opportunity to learn, showcase, and connect with the global fashion industry.
 • Promoting Sustainable Fashion – Through upcycling and eco-friendly textiles, we are encouraging sustainable practices that protect the planet.
 • Honoring Cultural Legacy – This event is dedicated to my cousin, Torgbe Volo Yingor 1st, and his vision of cultural preservation and community empowerment.
 • Rebuilding a Community Clinic – A portion of the funds will go toward renovating Volo’s clinic, providing better healthcare for local residents.

How You Can Help: Your donation will help cover:
✅ Travel & Lodging for our U.S. Team (fashion mentors & industry professionals)
✅ Sponsorship for Local Designers (materials, mentorship, and competition prizes)
✅ Event Production (venue, models, photography, and media coverage)
✅ Community Giveback (clinic renovations & sewing classes for youth)

Ways to Support:
 • Donate Today: Every dollar brings us closer to our goal!
 • Share Our Story: Spread the word on social media or tell a friend.
 • Become a Sponsor: Businesses can gain exposure by supporting this impactful event.

Together, we can build a sustainable future for fashion, empower young designers, and create lasting change in Ghana!

Donate Now & Be Part of the Movement!!!

This is more than just a fashion show—it’s a movement to honor the past, celebrate the present, and build a sustainable future. 

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to realizing this dream and making a tangible impact to rebuild Volo, because it takes a village and YOU are my village.

Together, we can create something truly meaningful. Thank you for believing in the power of fashion, art, and sustainability to change lives.

Please donate and share this campaign to help spread the word. Let’s make history in Volo, Ghana!
