Creatively Crafting Change
green° raises funds for
under-resourced schools in South
Africa by upcycling and transforming
waste materials into sustainable,
one-of-a-kind creations. These are
sold and 100 percent of the profits
go to making denim upcycled pencil
cases and filling them with
stationery to support 3 schools in
Cape Town.
About Us
In December 2019 we created greendegree to sustainably raise funds for education in South
Africa.
We had been made aware of the fact that many children had no access to basic required stationery.
We wanted to assist these children, have a positive impact on the environment and in the communities we worked in.
