Sallet Fashion House was started in 2010 along with the Sallet Foundation. This was to facilitate capacity building for a sustainable and state of the art production industry for the manufacture of garments. The fashion house and foundation are aided by the Ministry of Trade to set up clothing training and production centres to reduce unemployment. Production for other brands and designers is a potential Sallet Fashion House possesses. The Travelers Custom Made Clothing (TCMC) is one of her creations. TCMC produces custom made clothes and makes them available to travelers who are spending a minimum of three days and are on the move. She has showcased on many platforms both in Ghana and internationally like the African Sustainable Eco-Friendly show (Ghana) and the Miami and New York fashion weeks.

Sympathy International which was initially called the Millennium Ladies Club, was set up in 2003 when Sally was a student of University Practice High School in Cape Coast. One of its goals is to nurture female high school students into responsible women. Its main aim is to mitigate issues of concern for people, especially women in the rural areas of the Central Region of Ghana. The vision is to create a permanent conducive environment which will create a dignified way of life for the people by overcoming disease, deprivation and poverty. The plan for girls of school going age is reproductive health education, and future planning. This is done with the help of health workers, career counselors and the Ghana AIDS Commission.
