Clean Power Fuels Upcycling Movement in Kantamanto

At Kantamanto Market, where second-hand clothes arrive by the millions each week, a new partnership is helping traders and tailors work in a cleaner, more sustainable way. The Revival Earth, a local non-profit that trains young people to turn textile waste into new products, has teamed up with Kofa, Africa’s battery-swapping network, to bring reliable power to the market. A Kofa battery station has been set up inside Kantamanto to run sewing machines, lighting, and workshops.
