The SINA community in the Tongogara refugee camp in Zimbabwe was featured on the national TV for its innovative and creative plastic bottle house. Evode Hakizimana, the co-founder of Transformation Innovation Hub, explains why “waste is not waste until you waste it”. Together with other young people in the camp, they used upcycled plastic bottles to build their empowerment centre.
Transformation Innovation Hub transforms and empowers refugees and local youth from the refugee host community through self-innovative exploration and social entrepreneurship in the Tongogara Refugee Camp, turning problems into opportunities and becoming job creators.
