Introducing the Trashy Bags Africa Upcycled Pencil Case with an Off-Cut Fabric Outer and Plastic Waste Lining - the sustainable solution for individuals of all ages seeking both style and eco-consciousness in their everyday organisation. The Trashy Bags Africa Upcycled Pencil Case is not just any pencil case; it's a statement piece. Each Pencil Case is handcrafted in Ghana with an innovative combination of materials. The outer layer is made from off-cut fabric, minimising textile waste, while the interior lining consists of upcycled plastic waste. This pencil case is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. Its robust construction ensures that it can handle your pens, pencils, markers, and other stationery essentials, making it an essential companion for school, work, or creative endeavours. By choosing this pencil case, you're not just organising your stationery; you're actively participating in the fight against plastic pollution and supporting sustainable practices.

Plastic waste has become a big problem across Africa because of the lack of recycling initiatives and waste management infrastructure.
Through ingenuity and unwavering dedication, Trashy Bags pioneered a revolutionary approach to recycling. Every day, they collect thousands of discarded plastic bags from the streets, markets, and landfills, breathing new life into what was once considered worthless. These bags undergo a meticulous transformation, methodically washed, sorted, and transformed by skilled artisans into high-quality, eco-friendly products.

At Trashy Bags Africa, they are committed to fostering economic empowerment and social change. By providing employment opportunities to local artisans, many of whom are women and youth, we're not just creating jobs – we're nurturing talent, building skills, and catalysing sustainable development from the ground up.

Every purchase not only reduces waste but also directly supports the livelihoods of those who craft these one-of-a-kind treasures.

Keeping Families Together With Barnardo's Parent and Child Fostering

A young mum who experienced domestic abuse has shared her gratitude for the woman who helped change her life through the Barnardo’s Parent and Child Foster Care scheme.

After fleeing an abusive relationship and discovering she was pregnant, Andi* felt overwhelmed. A domestic abuse charity told her about Barnardo’s Parent and Child fostering, which offers safe, supportive homes for new parents and their babies. Determined to keep her child and prove she could care for her, she spoke to Social Services and was introduced to Laura.

Two days after baby Isla* was born, Laura visited them in hospital. Andi and Isla moved in with Laura and her husband Tom for three months and their connection has remained strong ever since.

“In the early days of Isla’s life Laura was like a mother to me and still is today. I can’t thank her and Tom enough. My daughter would not be in my care if it was not for them.

Over the past decade, Laura and Tom have supported seven mums and babies through Barnardo’s. A retired teacher, Laura felt her experience could be used to support young parents.

“Barnardo’s has given us fantastic training and ongoing support, and we’ve also learned so much from other foster carers across the UK.”

Helen Browne, Head of Barnardo’s Fostering and Adoption NI, said: “Parent and child fostering helps keep families together by giving new parents the support they need. We’re looking for caring adults who can share their experience and offer a safe space to those who need it most.”
