As team CHAKO we have been in Zanzibar for over 2 months. A lot has happened in the meantime. We started by producing a wooden frame for the lamp. The artisans that we work with have done a fantastic job. They carved the unique CHAKO flower into the frame and created different frame sizes for large and small lamps. In addition to the woodwork, we mainly focused on recycling the plastic. By first shredding shampoo bottles and plastic caps and then melting them in an injection machine, we get the right shape for our lamp. Together with the plastic team at CHAKO, we have already been able to give a lot of plastic a new life. Marketing is planned for the coming period! With our lamp we visit hotels and resorts to involve them in CHAKO's mission! Thanks S4S for helping us pursing a waste free Zanzibar!
