Textile Quote: Textile recycling is an art that improves the lives of people and the planet.
#TextileQuote of the Week
Textile recycling is an art that improves the lives of people and the planet.
@ecodesigns is currently educating and engaging 13 women and girls for FREE in the art of textile recycling and fashion designing as their contribution to beat textile pollution and improve the lives of people and the planet.
@ecoDesigns Needs a Generator
Our hub is currently in dire need of a Generator.
We need a Generator because for over one month now, we have been having consistent electricity failure from 08:00AM to 04:00PM and this has made it very difficult for our hub to function.
The electricity failure is due to the current socio-political crisis affecting the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon. You can learn more about the Anglophone crisis here: OCHA Report on the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon
Unconfirmed reports say the main electricity supply line to the region was put down by the separatist fighters.This has made it impossible for the Electricity supply company to access the zone and repair the line because it’s a separatist controlled zone. As such, we have not been having electricity because the Electricity supply company is powering the city but with a Generator now and is forced to do energy rationing. This has kept us in the blind spot from 08:00AM to 04:00PM everyday for more than 1 month now.
Unfortunately for us, our blind spot is total working hours and we can’t work without electricity. This explains why we need a generator so that we can continue to serve our people and the planet during the working hours of the day.
