KIMULI FASHIONABILITY

What Kimuli is doing
Kimuli Fashionability creates up-cycled fashion and increases on the employability of the physically impaired and deaf people through training them with free hands-on skills of creative tailoring.  Training them with creative tailoring skills turns their disability into an opportunity of creating their own employment while saving the environment from plastic waste accumulation. African fabrics are blended with waste materials. In the absence of hearing, deaf people for example often have heightened kinesthetic and visual abilities resulting in high quality products with love for detail.
Our target customers are both tourists who come to Uganda between the age of 20-70 years and African youths between the ages of 18-30 years who have love for African fashion. We also target stake holders like donors, investors and other care givers to boost the social business and scaling up to many African countries.

We have empowered 25 persons who are now self-sustainable. Many of their peers are seen as cursed or bewitched by Ugandan society and often kept indoors due to shame of the family because of their disability. This is why our sensitization programs in schools, children camps and fashion shows creates awareness to thousands to change their perception of disability, as well as waste. With our slogan “waste is only waste if you waste it”, we also sensitize Ugandans to see waste differently: It is Kimuli’s greatest resource and we inspire others to start small and grow big through up-cycling initiatives.

Kimuli Fashionability belives that persons with disabilities deserve the same opportunities as everyone else.

PUTTING WASTE TO USE

Plastic waste accumulation has become the order of the day in different parts of the world, As humans we have noticed that its production and accumulation will only terminate life on earth. There are over 150 Million Tons of Plastic already in the oceans. Every year, 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in oceans and lakes. Experts predict that there will be more plastic than fish in oceans by 2050.   And yet, the more waste we generate, the more waste we need to dispose of, Plastic waste accumulation is caused by the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. It can be categorized in primary plastics, such as cigarette butts and bottle caps, or secondary plastics, resulting from the degradation of the primary ones. It can also be defined by its size, from micro plastics - small particles (<5 mm) of plastic dispersed in the environment - to macro plastics. Businesses produce goods for sale and the packaging for those goods. We buy them, use them and then th

Help A person with a disability

Traction We emerged as the winners of “Initiative Teilen” grant in Germany where we raised funds which were used to train 25 disabled women free hands-on skills of creative tailoring and up-cycled fashion from 2 nd September- 18 th October 2017. Through and after the trainings, the beneficiaries have been able to up-cycle over 2000 products both accessories and garments from plastic waste. On 27 th may 2017 we held our first charity fundraising fashion show at Pope Paul Memorial hotel in Kampala where we managed to raise 3000 USD.
