THE REVIVAL is a community-led sustainable design non-profit organization that is making a positive impact in Ghana. They are dedicated to educating and creating awareness about the environmental issues caused by the illegal burning and dumping of garments in Ghana. This alarming practice not only pollutes the air, soil, and water but also poses a significant threat to public health and climate change.

THE REVIVAL operates in Kantamanto, the largest second-hand clothing market in Ghana, where over 40,000 tons of clothes, mostly from Western countries, end up every year. They collect discarded second-hand clothes, collaborate with local craftsmen, fashion students, and the public to create new outfits and art, giving value to items that were once considered trash. By raising awareness through education, design thinking, and art, THE REVIVAL aims to bring about positive behavioral change.

To work with THE REVIVAL, you can join them on a vintage hunt at Kantamanto market, host a workshop in Ghana, or collaborate on a capsule collection and artwork. Contact them to get involved in their mission of promoting sustainability and reducing textile waste
