The Cost Of Oversupply...
Meet Mary Sarkodie, a retailer from Kantamanto.
As a charity shop volunteer, I’ve sorted through my fair share of stained underwear, moth eaten jumpers, and holey socks. What I can’t stomach is how these items might one day reach a Kantamanto retailer like Mary, who pays between $400-500 USD for a bale of our used and unwanted clothes, many of which are stained and torn.
To quote Mary in her video with @Kantamanto Is Open!: “what kind of charity is this?”
When we donate our clothes to charity, or put them in the “recycling” box, we must think about the person who might receive it.
The systemic change we drastically need starts with brand accountability. So along with Mary, I’m calling on fashion brands of all sizes to show love to Kantamanto, and sign The Or Foundation’s #SpeakVolumes campaign!
All they have to do is share their production numbers (in units, not weight) by Black Friday 2025 using the link in my bio.
