Ken Prickett at Lake Oswego's Cultural Xchange

Ken Prickett attends special events and bazaars throughout the year selling handcrafted products from Africa—with proceeds supporting Framework's school-building work in Ghana. His standout offering: vibrant woven baskets created by women in Ghana who earn income to support their children's education. When you purchase a basket, your money directly funds the construction and renovation of public primary schools in Ghana—connecting artisans, students, and donors in a cycle of shared opportunity.
