About Us
My Ghanian husband and I first took our three young children to Ghana over 20 years ago. That trip is the root of what has become a life long love for Ghana. Not just a love for the food, landscape, music and colours but most significantly the wonderfully kind people.
This first trip was also the start of an ongoing commitment to help children in schools in Ghana. Such a commitment developed into regular collections and donations of books in the UK to then be taken by us to schools there.
We create and work in partnership with schools by bringing over books in exchange for the assurance that they will be placed in school libraries for the benefit of the children.

The vibrant culture and traditions have inspired me to bring some of the unique colours of Ghana back to my home in Scotland and to create No Food For Lazy Man.
Our love for travelling has led us beyond the borders of Ghana, and yet it remains central to our lives.
No Food For Lazy Man is one of the common sayings in Ghana and can often be seen on the front of tro-tro buses and in much artwork. It relates back to how nothing in life is easy and that you must work hard in life to earn a living and to eat. My brand is represented by the Adinkra Sankofa symbol meaning to go back or to return to. To me, it represents the importance of going back to your roots and recognising the importance of the past and of history.
