TTETL is an environmental sustainability project with the main objective to train and empower members of a community to upcycle the waste created in the environment into commercial artefacts to generate an alternative stream of income.
Theovision, in partnership with Greenheart International, was able to scout, select and build a relationship with Asikabiw, a peasant farming community in the Eastern Region of Ghana in January 2020.
As a result of the partnership, (20) participants in the community were trained to turn waste products such as plastic bottles and sachet water rubbers into pencil cases, laptop bags, necklaces and other useful everyday items.
The trainees developed skills in sewing, handcrafts and macrame making. They were also taught recycling (collection, sorting and preparation of waste), environmental sustainability, upcycling and composting to enhance their financial independence.
