Brama Town is a small, beautiful village of 750 people, around 30km south of Freetown, Sierra Leone, with an award-winning women’s football team. It is home to a community of basket weavers who run a small stall by the main road.
Samuel Walker Mansaray is the village chief and head of the Brama Basket Weavers group. Samuel was taught weaving by his brother-in-law and had the idea of bringing weaving to the community. Today, most of the youth participate in the industry which provides the community with its main source of income. Materials are all sourced locally and the work is shared amongst the people of the village.
We will be happy to keep visiting, to absorb more of the aura that Brama Town exudes through its incredible community spirit.
