"turning waste to wonder".

What began as a handful of woman and a pile of used billboards has transformed into a movement of empowerment. Kakori Threads is a workshop of hope, up cycling waste into beautiful, purposeful products that tell stories of resilience

Kakori Roots

"We don't just plant trees we plant futures"

In a dryland nursery on the edge of Hwange, a quiet revolution is taking root. Kakori Roots grows more than trees - it grows food, health, shade, stories and second chances
