HOUSING FOR ALL!

1.6 million people face shelter challenges globally. We need affordable access and sustainable housing for low-income households.

Upcycle Africa is a social enterprise that transforms the waste crisis in Africa into employment opportunities for marginalized groups of people while repurposing plastic waste into products of inherent value including;-eco-bricks and housing, accessories and garments, plastic waste to fuel, and supporting eco-friendly startups.

"Saving trees from being cut to burn bricks, reducing plastic waste, creating employment, and providing affordable shelters, especially for those in refugee settlements/camps, and promoting an innovative mindset among communities, these solutions should be supported to scale.
