Hello! We are proud to introduce you to the Community Business Incubator (CBI) team as they reflect on their accomplishments, challenges and personal growth over the last year.
As you will see in the video, CBI is overflowing with personality, purpose and PLANTS 🌱
Kantamanto already recirculates 25 million garments a month through reuse, repair and re-manufacture, making it a leading global and local model of circularity. And yet, many people working in Kantamanto are not prospering from their hard work and ingenuity.
As our newest department, CBI exists to ensure that Kantamanto is recognized for its contribution to fashion and to create new economic pathways for Kantamanto’s entrepreneurs to thrive. This involves developing new products, offering training programs, conducting market research, making our space available to the Kantamanto community and hosting events like @obroniwawuoctober for which they have supported the training of five runway designers.
Throughout it all, CBI also works with our Mabilgu Program to create job pathways for women and girls who formerly worked as kayayei, including through the development of our Mop.
“I really felt like that was the dream, for these girls to have something that they can do that they love, that they enjoy and that could be a source of employment and a source of economic growth for them so they don’t have to be head carrying in the market.” - Kennie
