Plastic is wealth, not waste.

70% of all diseases in Ghana are caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation with 6 million people being unable to access to clean drinking water.

These used sachets unfortunately are extensively littered throughout towns and villages.

In 2015, Jib Hagan's wife Alba passed away and he was lost in finding the direction his life would take next. With the support of his young children, he decided to set up a NGO (C.A.R.E 4 Basket) to highlight the environmental issues affecting rural communities in Ghana and the impact of global warming and single-use plastics on their livelihoods.
