The purpose of this paper is a call to action for clothing and textiles scholars to aid Ghanaian women and girls in achieving more income and education through a connection with university Family and Consumer Sciences’ (FCS) students, faculty, and homemakers. We are proposing that a consortium of clothing and textile specialists with interests in Ghana be organized to create an ongoing and sustainable effort in Ghana to benefit women and girls
