The Binaba Shop, located in Roanoke’s downtown market, is a volunteer-run, nonprofit African gift shop. The shop sells one-of-a-kind masks from Congo, hand-crafted carvings, household items, furniture, fabric and baskets. Proceeds benefit two critical needs in the Upper East Region of Ghana: basic medical care, and development of an alternative means of livelihood for a village suffering from the loss of farming. Proceeds also support local education programs in Roanoke and promote diversity in our region.
