Textile boutique, Ndara, uses the act of creation to restore dignity and autonomy in the Central African Republic. Founded in 2017 this women’s cooperative has been instrumental in employing and upskilling victims of on-going violence in the region. From weekly leadership, math, and literacy classes to producing quality hand-made artisan products from upcycled textiles, Ndara has built something truly exquisite in one of the least known and poorest countries on the African continent. 

This episode, in conversation with founder Charlotte Mararv, we explore the possibilities of existing outside ‘survival mode’.
