Fresh StartEthically-traded pyjama collection by AfriKids and Jimmi Jamms

This latest collection from Jimmi Jamms has been produced with award-winning charity, AfriKids, and

provides a limited range of handmade pieces perfect for the festive season. The Fresh Start range has

been produced by independent tailors and seamstresses in the remote community of Bolgatanga,

northern Ghana, whose industry is being increasingly threatened by the globalising influx of cheap

imports.

AfriKids is a hugely successful non-governmental organisation, which has been working with communities

of the Upper East Region of Ghana on various ground-breaking projects since 2002. Ethical trade

initiatives such as this one combine traditional crafts with contemporary design in a responsible and fair

trading partnership. The Fresh Start range has been designed and produced exclusively for Jimmi Jamms,

and offers the perfect choice for a special and unique gift this Christmas.

Each purchase from the handmade Fresh Start range directly supports the work of AfriKids whose work

benefits over 100,000 people across the north of Ghana. Their work ranges from the more traditional

children’s projects including foster homes, schools and street child centres to more groundbreaking

initiatives which tackle complex cultural issues including child trafficking, child labour and the spirit child

phenomenon.

Operation Fresh Start, the AfriKids project which has inspired the name for this range, has successfully

resettled over 150 young people from the slums of southern Ghana to their northern homes where many

are now being supported to train as seamstresses. The success of Operation Fresh Start can be

demonstrated through a number of the tailors and seamstresses who produced this range, having

benefitted from the life-changing programme themselves. Through projects like this, AfriKids is

empowering local communities to secure a self-sufficient and sustainable future for themselves.

The Fresh Start range includes long pyjama pants for men and women, and shorts for men in a number of

fun and contemporary colours and designs. All garments in the Fresh Start range are 100% breathable

cotton for easy care, detailed with an elasticated waistband for added comfort, and colourful ties for

adjustable sizing. Various sizes available.
