Hands of Honour

Hands of Honour creates employment by collecting and up-cycling corporate waste. Corporations are the main suppliers of this waste, ”donating ” their obsolete stock rather than sending it on to landfill.

Hands of Honour employs the ‘unemployable’ in South Africa – those who have experienced homelessness, crime and / or substance abuse – to up-cycle obsolete stock and recyclable items. Workers process the waste, either rehabilitating material or stripping goods for sale of parts.

Proceeds from this have two benefits:

• Provide salaries for workers who otherwise have no work options available to them;

• Profits are invested in derelict community spaces, focusing on public spaces which have become havens for anti-social behaviour.
