SkinnyDipped to support school-building initiative in Ivory Coast
Woman-led program converts plastic waste into bricks for building.
SkinnyDipped has launched "Brick By Brick," a give-back program supporting a women-led recycling initiative that converts plastic waste into durable bricks used to build schools for children in cacao-based communities.
In Ivory Coast, where much of the world's cacao is grown and harvested, poverty is endemic and women and children are especially vulnerable to hunger, poor sanitation and a critical shortage of schools. However, an innovative recycling program created by UNICEF and Colombia’s Conceptos Plasticos is working to help women generate a steady income and create safe spaces for kids to go to school.
