Trash 2 Treasure Recycled Crafting Initiative

These are then marketed internationally and to the local market, to assist in bringing funds back into the community. A positive by-product of this is that recycling happens at a grassroot level in order to collect “crafting supplies”. Through funky crafts and clever entrepreneurship, Nourish hopes to use its “Trash 2 Treasure” project to encourage social consciousness and lodge involvement –and so to create a platform whereby local craftsmen and women can show and sell their wares to international tourists. These crafts however are more than just a souvenir- each piece is specially crafted from recycled goods- showing guests and tourists that we are more than just business minded, but have a heart for the environment too.

Trash 2 Treasure is a recycled crafting initiative that focuses on sustainable entrepreneurship opportunities for women/grannies and men in rural communities to learn skills, and make a livelihood from utilising waste to create beautiful crafts and art.
