An interesting project. This fabulous project takes the ubiquitous chucked plastic bags that adorn Burkina’s gutters & recycles them into a huge range of knitted or loom-woven items; there’s a stylish range of shoulder/handbags, pencil cases, wash bags, clothing & everything in between. The standards are exceptionally high, the prices amazingly low. You can watch the women at work.

A center that manufactures utilitarian objects (handbags, shoes, briefcases, decoration...) based on used bags that the brave women recycle. A center with its shop to visit for your purchases of gifts.
