โจ The Power of One Woman’s Vision: How Naana Djan and Fritzwa Group Are Transforming Lives in Ghana

In a world where access to opportunity often depends on privilege, Naana Djan, a passionate Ghanaian woman with an unshakable belief in the power of skill, beauty, and community, chose a different path. She founded the Fritzwa Group — a dynamic, women-led social enterprise that’s rewriting the future of fashion, beauty, and vocational training in Ghana.
Driven by purpose and anchored in compassion, Naana Djan didn’t just start a business — she sparked a movement.
๐ A Multi-Faceted Force for Good
Under Naana’s leadership, Fritzwa Group has grown into a powerful network of impact-driven ventures:
๐งต Efatawo by Fritzwa Creations
From handcrafted garments for men, women, and children to bold accessories made from beads, leather, and African textiles — Efatawo doesn’t just sell fashion; it teaches it. Through hands-on training in garment construction, beadwork, and leatherwork, young people and women are gaining real skills — and real confidence.
๐งด Beauty Radiance by Fritzwa
With products rooted in Ghana’s natural wealth — from shea butter to African black soap and essential oils — Beauty Radiance champions natural beauty and ethical production. It’s skincare that heals, empowers, and celebrates African roots, lovingly made by women who believe in nature’s ability to restore.
๐ค Fritzwa International (NGO)
What started as a calling became a registered NGO in 2023, providing free vocational training, mentorship, and business support to vulnerable women and youth. Over 1,700 lives have been transformed through this effort across Ashanti, Greater Accra, Central, and Volta regions — and the journey is just beginning.
๐ Fritzwa Vocational Institute
A home for hands-on education, the institute equips young women, school dropouts, and aspiring entrepreneurs with skills in fashion design, millinery, bead making, and more. Graduates don’t just walk away with knowledge — they walk away with power: the power to earn, to create, and to lead.
๐ก Naana Djan: A Woman with a Mission
Naana Djan’s journey is a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. In her world, vocational training is not a fallback — it’s a foundation. It’s a way to fight poverty, break cycles, and restore dignity. Her work touches every layer of the community: from the young woman learning to sew her first dress to the single mother building a skincare business from her kitchen.
Where others saw obstacles, Naana saw opportunity. Where others gave charity, she offered tools. And in every thread, bead, and bar of soap, there is a piece of her vision — for a Ghana where empowerment is handcrafted, one woman at a time.
