Khady Faye

Senegal (FR)

My name is Khady and I am a student with a great passion for creation. 2019, I started a small business named KhadyCréa. KhadyCréa gives a second life to old tyres. It offers a wide range of furniture such as tables, sofas, and storage made out of scrap tyres and covered with African cloth.

„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.“
