Rebuilding Africa’s largest second-hand clothes market
We're in Ghana where Kantamanto receives most of the 15 million garments arriving in the country each week. It was recently destroyed by fire but it's already being rebuilt.
Ed Butler travels to Kantamanto market in Accra, Ghana.
15 million used garments arrive in Ghana every week from all over the world - most ends up at Kantamanto but a lot can't be sold because it's in poor condition. That ends up as landfill.
Just weeks after Ed’s visit, a disastrous fire raised it to the ground, so he’s been back in touch with some of the vendors he spoke to as they try and get the market, and their livelihoods, up and running again.
Produced and presented by Ed Butler
