The story behind Cycle of Good

SKILLED FAIR TRADE TAILORS

All of the Cycle of Good team in Malawi live in Chilomoni where the workshop is situated. The enterprises together employ 500 people who have all completed a two year diploma in tailoring and design using old sewing machines donated from the UK. They have also completed further training focused on accessories production, offered by international volunteers. Proceeds from the enterprises fund a vital children’s centre, providing early years care and family support to around 2000 vulnerable children at any one time. It’s a quiet revolution of skills building and economic growth in a country with no welfare state: if you don’t earn, you don’t eat.

UPCYCLED GIFTS HELPING TO SAVE THE PLANET

What’s particularly special about The Cycle of Good is that many of the enterprises are part of a circular economy; reusing unwanted or waste products from the UK and turning them into profit. The company has shipped thousands of books, bikes, computers and sewing machines, which are refurbished, used for training or sold to create a surplus that funds international standard childcare and the building of new schools.

That's why it’s called the Cycle of Good!

    Why I Love Cycle of Good

    Cycle of Good ticks so many boxes for me and I'm proud to have had it in our assortment for the last few years. Not only do the products support employment in Malawi and use up material that would otherwise go to waste, they are also really practical to use...and are pretty cool too!
