We collect and educate!
Background Oxam, a British charitable organization, estimates 70 percent of their donated clothing ends up in Africa According to Grand View Research, the textile industry has evolved into a nearly $1 trillion industry globally, comprising clothing, as well as furniture and mattress material, linens, draperies, cleaning materials, leisure equipment, and many other items.
1 Trillion Receiving countries often lack adequate waste & recycling infrastructure to deal with textiles, and so the West’s unwanted garments ultimately end their lives in overflowing landfill sites and blocked waterways in the Global South.
