about.

Lifestyle Textile and Garment Export Limited was founded by Madam Susana Mitchell, a social entrepreneur who founded the company out of her passion for Community Development, Women Empowerment, Skills Acquisition and Health promotion. For the past 22 years, Madam Mitchell has been involved in philanthropic activities that have been aimed at ensuring that women and other disadvantaged or vulnerable members of society are empowered with the skills and mind-set they need to overcome poverty. As part of this process, she embarked on various activities such as sensitization of all 10 regions in Ghana on HIV and AIDS and reproductive health. Additionally, she provided training to queen mothers, women and the youth in Akyem Abuakwa area in business and financing. Her main aim was to support women who wanted to earn a living on their own and support their families. This was because she discovered that many of the victims of HIV/AIDS and other forms of abuse were women who have been left vulnerable by poverty. So, in addition to setting up non-governmental organisations and working with national and international institutions to address these issues, Madam Mitchell also invested into businesses that could train women and other vulnerable groups with certain employable skills and to employ these women after their training. This culminated in setting up Lifestyle Vocational and Training Institute Limited as one of the vehicles to offer training and provide employment in the fashion and cosmetology industry to women and vulnerable groups and also to operate a financially viable business model at the same time. The company hopes to penetrate the fashion industry with cost-cutting designs and products. It is the goal of the company to be recognized as one of the leading brands in Ghana and also as one of the top exporters of African fashion mixed with European style in the near future.
