Meet Isatou And The Women's initiative Gambia
“She faced 3 challenges to her dream: she was young, she was small and she was from a poor family. Yet none of that stopped her. Now because of her, some of the next generation can follow their dreams!” - Isatou Ceesay
This incredible woman began empowering other women in 1997. She gave and continues to give them motivation to succeed and skills to better their lives whilst creating unique products from waste materials. From purses, keyrings, baskets & skipping ropes made from plastic bags, to compost bins & tables/chairs made from recycled tyres. We are so impressed with the variety of amazing products, all upcycled from what was once worthless waste into unique treasures!

We're excited to announce our first Green Gambian; Bamboo Man ,aka Babucarr! He's named after his trade of course, and had has been making bamboo furniture and even buildings for a long time. When we came to him to ask about straws he was a bit bamboo-zled, no one had ever asked him to make such a small and simple design before! We said, "hey, these small straws can do big things for the environment!".

Say No To Plastic!
Say No To Plastic!
Since we’ve been in Gambia we’ve noticed the use of plastic straws at all of the restaurants we’ve been to. So, we asked Babucarr, known locally as bamboo man to make straws.. and we couldn’t be happier with the result!🎋
Our Bamboo straws are not only sustainable, they also provide Babacarr with much needed income and stimulate the local economy! We say NO to plastic straws, and you should too...they can be reused, they do not harm the environment, and you can feel good knowing that your one simple change goes a long long way!
Available individually or in sets. For any businesses wanting over 100, please email us at info@growing-green-communities.org
