What happened at Repair Maadi? ♻️
A day of creativity, learning, making and discovering new possibilities in things we often consider waste!
As part of International Repair Day, we collaborated with Saahas to bring people together for a hands on upcycling workshop using discarded carpentry materials.
From bent nails and scrap wood to broken hinges and reclaimed photo frames, participants explored basic carpentry skills and experimented with turning these materials into something useful and meaningful.
We had two activities running: making little sculptural charms and creating multi use chalkboard organisers. Children and adults alike got their hands busy, learnt something new and took home something they made themselves.
By the end of the workshop, 15 organisers and 16 charms had found a new life!
A big thank you to everyone who participated, especially the children and parents who brought so much enthusiasm and creativity to the space.
Our heartfelt thanks to Saahas for the collaboration, HSR Citizen Forum- Promoting Sustainability ♻️ for the reclaimed materials, and everyone who contributed to making this event happen.
It was wonderful to see so many people come together around a simple idea:
Repair. Reuse. Reimagine. Before you recycle, see what else it can become. 🤍
