“Tuma Viela” is an initiative of Ellen
Seldenthuis, a Dutch woman, residing and working in Ghana
since 2004. “Tuma Viela” means “Good Work” in Dagbani, and
is the translation of “Adwuma Ye” , the name of the
foundation she started.
At the start of 2010 she began this very special workshop
“Tuma Viela”, a job-creating project in which woman and
unemployed youth have a chance to develop themselves and
which allows them to earn an income and become independent.
All this with the goal of creating a less polluted urban
Tamale; educating schools about preserving the environment
and putting smiles on the faces of children who can acquire
a beautiful product if they help clean up the streets...
The main items produced in the workshop are the schoolbags.
Not only are they popular because they are so beautiful, but
also because there are so many children who don't own, and
have never ever owned a schoolbag!
All the items are made using the water- and ice cream
sachets, carelessly discarded everywhere, causing such a
litter problem. This litter causes huge health problems
because the trash obstructs the open sewers which has
terrible consequences...

water sachets, as she did many times before. She briskly puts
the 18 school bags in the sack she brought and gives it to the
child to carry.
