Kamal Mohammed

Kamal Mohammed

"I belong to a zongo youth group in my community where we help educate the youth so they don't fall into bad habits and also stay away from drugs."

"Mohammed Kamal is my name. I'm a leather artisan, born in 1980 in Accra. My friends say I am hardworking, friendly and... very religious.

"When I traveled to Mali, I attended an exhibition in Bamako where the leather works that I saw were beautiful and perfectly done. I decided to learn. I was taught by a master artisan with whom I worked with most of the time during my apprenticeship. Today he works with me in my shop. I had to learn from three different masters, some from Burkina-Faso and Mali.

"I needed a blacksmith to design my working tools and getting money for it wasn't easy. I worked for a year to be able to get the tools.

"Because of financial problems in Mali, I returned to my parents after completing junior high school. Back in Ghana, I started working from home. Later, I had to find a workshop because the tools I used made too much noise for those living in the house.

"I'm fascinated by the design process and by tools and their arrangement when I'm working. I use plywood, leather, white glue and straw board. It can be challenging when the wood turns out to be low quality and breaks when you are working with it.

"Once during the rainy season, I received my first order for mirror frames and chess sets. I had only a limited amount of time to deliver them, but my family stepped in to help me, as did some of the friends I had taught.

"I am the fourth child in a family of seven. I am now a married man with three children. I belong to a zongo youth group in my community where we help educate the youth so they don't fall into bad habits and also stay away from drugs.

"I get my inspiration from traveling to the northern part of Mali and Burkina-Faso. Their style and culture inspire me a lot. I work with my family members who are around me all the time and they help with the leathering and shining of the works.

"My dream is to craft good and quality works for international shoppers and also teach the youth on the streets who are jobless."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.

WIN # 2 Children Benefit!

Each item purchased from UNICEF Market will benefit UNICEF's programs that provide lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more to children in need.

You can learn more about UNICEF's work, on About UNICEF.
