repurpose
Salvage, reuse, recycle and upcycle at least 90% of the materials we we use for all our products. Woods are locally sourced within Zambia from piles discarded from construction, manufacturing, furniture and processing industries, as well as Forestry department approved sites. We only use wood that has been naturally felled by winds/rain or animals or chopped and discarded by rural loacal who no longer have use for it

2021 UP-SKILLS PROGRAM
THE MUKOSA PROJECT
In October 2021, we had set out to establish a up skills program that gave marginalized young women within the Bauleni, Chawama and Chilenje areas an opportunity to learn marketable skills including basket weaving using crocheting techniques.
Our first 15 young women went on to help create our Thread & Hook line of handwoven storage baskets, and trays.
