An idea to improve the way of life for a number of the people living in Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay –with old tea-bags.
An idea that blossomed to provide employment for several previously disadvantaged folk and an idea that is now flying the “Proudly South African” banner in other nations across the globe.
From the first innovative greetings cards, recycled tea bags are now used to produce quality, handmade products including trays, candle holders, coasters and a variety of stationary.
Every tea bag is carefully painted with a colorful design; like snowflakes and fingerprints, each one is unique. The designs are arresting -- perhaps because the artists support their families through their work – and perhaps also because their teacher, Jill Heyes, didn’t give up on them.
