Kibebe

Modern African design upcycled products created by marginalised artisans
2019 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Biodiversity Lilongwe, Malawi

Kibebe trains marginalised artisans to produce upcycled products to sell at their brick and mortar outlet and at a local farmers market. The product line includes 35 products made from recycled materials. They also offer tours of the production centre and camp to bring customers closer to the communities that make the products.

Profits are also given to a partner organisation that runs vocational training programs, where graduates may also be integrated into the Kibebe workforce. This creates jobs for marginalised communities.

Kibebe provides training for marginalised artisans, enabling them to increase their income and improve their decision making power in the community. The upcycled products also have an environmental impact by using local waste to create valuable products.
