After sending out a blog entry asking if anyone had anything interesting that they were working on, I received an email from Jeffrey Manu who is running what seems to be a company which helps Ghanaian start up companies get traction with co-founders
Fred Mawuli Deegbe
and Vijay Manu. Jeffrey says that when you buy this brand you are helping Ghanaian companies strive for better production quality, a better skill set and a better future. Their aim it to empower start up companies with the necessary skills to make their businesses international and they have started this journey with their first start up company, Heel The World.
Personally, if the freight is reasonable, I am going to pick up a pair myself to test them out. I think it's fantastic that this project is getting traction and I wish them the best of luck.
So far the two companies they have been working on is a shoe company and a beads company. I don't have much more to offer you at this stage, but it is worth taking a look at their tumblr page :

Wow. Super cool, do they stock in the States?
