THE REVIVAL is a community-led organization creating awareness, art, and jobs with upcycled global textile waste coming to Ghana.
The illegal burning and dumping of garments in Ghana is polluting air, soil and water at an alarming pace - an increasing concern of public health and climate change for us.

Where we are
THE REVIVAL operates in Kantamanto, the largest second-hand clothing market in Ghana and West Africa with around 30,000 traders. Massive quantities of clothes end up in Kantamanto every year mostly coming from Western countries. An estimated 7 million of items circulate weekly with about 10% - 40% of clothing bales being thrown away polluting the environment.
Waste Management x Community
THE REVIVAL collects second-hand clothes that have been discarded, employs local craftsmen in Kantamanto and collaborates with fashion students from local universities as well as members of the public to participate in the creation of new outfits and art to give value to items tagged as “trash”.
