Ibrahima Ba

Senegal (FR)

My name is Ibrahima Ba and I am doing upcycling in Dakar to address the waste problem. I make furniture for people who want to furnish their home but who cannot affort it. In the future, I would like to open a solidarity workshop to help young people who have dropped out of school to do something with their hands.

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
