KibebeModern African design upcycled products created by marginalised artisans
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.
