THE REVIVAL is a community-focused NGO that combats textile waste in Kantamanto, Ghana’s largest second-hand market. Millions of clothes end up in landfills every week, polluting the environment. Founder Kwamena and his team are giving this waste a new identity by working with local artisans and fashion students. Their aim is not just to transform clothes, but to give people a better future.
For the youth and workers who carry the brunt of the market, THE REVIVAL is not just an upcycling movement, it is also a beacon of hope. Children who carry the waste clothing blocks and people working in difficult conditions learn new skills and access better job opportunities here. Through education, design-focused workshops and art projects, THE REVIVAL does its best to empower both individuals and society.
Transforming discarded textiles into art and new clothes, THE REVIVAL works to create sustainable change in the heart of Kantamanto. Every piece of waste gives new life to both the environment and people.
