Fon Irene: Director of Training in textile recycling and fashion designing
Our beautiful and young Fon Irene is Director of EcoDesigns and Director of Training incharge of Textile Recycling and Fashion Designing. She is Co-Founder of EcoDesigns and a trained Fashion Designer. Being a Single Mother, Irene has pledged to educate and empower other young girls to become entrepreneurs by training them for free in textile recycling and fashion designing.
Besides fighting youth unemployment and poverty which are drivers of teenage pregnancy and deliquency among young girls, Irene is also trying to improve the health and well being of people and the planet by collecting old clothes from people who have, mending them and redistributing to the underpriviledged, prisoners and orphans; hence changing lives while reducing the amount of textile pollution in the city.
Irene's goal at EcoDesigns focuses on the 3 Ps (People, Profit and Planet). She currently has 13 trainees who are learning textile recycling and fashion designing at EcoDesigns and her wish is to train and empower more young girls.

We can do more but we lack materials and machines to increase our textile recycling and women empowerment project. We have 13 trainees and 02 Training Directors but have just 06 machines which are not enough for the 13 young girls who are striving to get empowered as well as clean-up the world. It is for this reason that is striving to raise funds to purchase 7 machines so that we can double our productivity and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our textile recycling and fashion designing training.
