Profile

l am the founder and creative director of Craftastics Zimbabwe, a handicrafts business which sustainably manufactures rugs, mats, home deco and fashion accessories from fabric waste. Tailors in low income communities in the city dump their fabric waste at illegal dumpsites. Tjis blocked our drainage systems and affected our underground water, sanitation and hygiene. Through my business l buy the fabric waste directly from tailors in my community before they dump it. I aim to reduce fabric waste and preserve the environment by giving customers durable products whilst promoting talented artisanal youths in my community at the same time preserving our traditional handicrafting cultural heritage.
