Make It Yourself

Our educational DIY hub to enable a culture of repurposing, one item at a time

If there is one resource we all have access to, it is our waste. We know that we are not the only ones who want to do more with less, so this is our way of empowering individual action. 

Everyone (including you) can make something, anything, with the waste that is around us. One item made is one less material bound for incineration.

Showcases

We bring all this knowledge on-ground to show that it is possible to create something that lasts using waste materials. It is here that we get to engage communities directly, demonstrate proof and encourage everyone we meet to try something new.
