“What the Bag?”
In the video below. Sahara Thagunna explains more about the “What the Bag?” project.
2020 for 2020 as explained by Sahara:
My goal is to sew 2020 bags for 2020, all of which will be handed out for free. But I can’t do this without your help. It costs me R20 to sew one set of bags (1 set = 1 shopping and 1 produce bag). By simply donating R20 to “What the Bag?”, you can make the creation of a set of bags possible, and that set of bags will be handed out for free with the special message to inspire and create change. If you can and want to support “What the Bag?” in the sewing of 2020 bags for 2020 just hit that donate button and make your contribution – every bit counts!
