ACT NOW! Africa is drowning in fast fashion textile waste
Our recent investigation shows that up to 500,000 items of clothing waste from Accra’s Kantamanto market end up in open spaces and informal dumpsites every week.
We have everything in Africa to thrive, to create an economy that’s fair and prioritises the wellbeing of people and the planet, but for this we must make polluters and the ultra-rich pay their fair share in taxes.
We don’t take any money from corporations or governments. Our independence and ability to speak and act freely is our strongest asset. We depend on the generosity of people like you who fund our work with monthly donations.
