About me / About business or organisation:
Global Goods Partners (GGP) is a non-profit organization that creates economic opportunity for women in some of the worldʼs poorest communities by providing access to the US market for the fair trade, handmade products they produce. Working in partnership with women-led producer groups with
strong social missions, GGP provides technical assistance, product development, operational expertise and targeted capacity building grants to our community-based partners. With this support, GGP is empowering women to create sustainable change—advancing the health and well-being of their families and communities.

GGP has long-term, established relationships with our artisan partners. We work with nearly
40 associations, cooperatives and social enterprises worldwide that integrate their commitment to community development—such as improvements in education, health, women's rights, and employment opportunities—
with socially responsible income-generating programs in craft development. We vet each organization to ensure that individual producers receive a fair living wage and work in safe and healthy conditions. In addition, to offering sustainable jobs and income, each of our partners must also demonstrate fiduciary responsibility
and the effective delivery of services, ranging from health, education, human rights, and vocational training programs to improve the long-term prospects of the women that they work with.

Greeting Dear Friend,
I hope all is well with you?

My Name is Ahmed Mohamed 53years old; From Egypt picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. Because I am newly in this site I have something very important to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site. Could you please get back to me on my mailbox email address here (mr.mohamed_ahmed55@hotmail.com) so that I can tell you more details why I contacted you.

Thanks and Allah May Bless You.
Regard
Dr. Ahmed Mohamed
