ASIGE (Advocacy for Social Inclusion and Girls’ Education) is a pioneering social enterprise committed to tackling two deeply interconnected global challenges: environmental sustainability and the economic empowerment of women and young people. With operations in both Ghana and Scotland (UK), ASIGE produces eco-friendly, handmade products including baskets, bags, and homewares using locally sourced elephant grass. These artisanal creations offer a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics, helping to reduce environmental impact while creating dignified employment opportunities for women and youth in underserved communities in Ghana.

Founded in 2017, ASIGE operates as a "people and planet first" organisation and is proudly certified by the Social Enterprise World Forum, a guaranteed member of the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO), and a recognised Scottish Fair Trade member. The enterprise is legally registered as a company limited by guarantee in both Ghana and Scotland, UK.
