We will very much appreciate your presence and/or support for our 10th Green Anniversary.
On the occasion of our 10th Green anniversary, we will be raising funds for ecoDesigns rents and to purchase a Sanili Moto Tricycle.
ecoDesigns is our textile recycling and fashion designing hub that is training women and girls for free in textile recycling and fashion designing. The hub graduated 2 trainees in 2019, and currently has 7 trainees who are upcycling 500Ibs of textile waste every month. The hub is also collecting old clothes and shoes from the haves and distributing them to the have-nots and so far, more than 200 persons have benefited from this initiative.
The purpose of the Sanili Moto Tricycle is to enable us to effectively collect plastic bottles, tires and textile waste from around our city to our different recycling sites such as ecodesigns.
You can support us by donating for us to pay or rents or donating for us to purchase the Sanili Moto Tricycle.
Our rent for a month is $70 and for a year is $840.
A Sanili Moto Tricycle costs $1500
