The idea
This 12-month project will challenge cultural stigma around reuse in African households by hosting workshops on 3R awareness, mending, repairing, and reusing items, promoting renting over buying, and teaching safe reuse practices.
It encourages waste reduction by fostering a community culture of repair, reuse, and sustainable item exchange.
