Rebuilding Africa’s largest second-hand clothes market
Manage episode 465171186 series 1301443
Ed Butler travels to Kantamanto market in Accra, Ghana.
15 million used garments arrive in Ghana every week from all over the world - most ends up at Kantamanto but a lot can't be sold because it's in poor condition. That ends up as landfill.
Just weeks after Ed’s visit, a disastrous fire raised it to the ground, so he’s been back in touch with some of the vendors he spoke to as they try and get the market, and their livelihoods, up and running again.
