School of the Deaf

Wa School of the Deaf is located in Wa, Upper West Region, Ghana. During their first visit to the city in 2010, co-founders Kofi Setordji and Odile Tevie noticed that the students at the School of the Deaf did not have material for practical school work and were not going to do any end of year exams. 

Nubuke decided to get involved in the school curriculum, donating materials and conducting design, dyeing and weaving workshops to improve the skills of the students. 

Nubuke has continued to collaborate with the school ever since and in 2021 the students’ handiworks were showcased for the first time at the maiden edition of Woori Festival. 

Workshops so far have included:

  • Introduction to new design ideas
  • Colour yarn dyeing techniques 
  • Technical understanding of equipment and tools
  • Entrepreneurial skills
