MFC Partner: The MFI Foundation

The Matilda Flow Inclusion Foundation (The MFI Foundation) is a non-profit community-based organization in Greater Accra, Ghana. The organization operates an upcycling studio at which artisans and trainees who have been displaced by the global fast fashion and secondhand clothing industries create tie-dye and denim products out of textile waste sent to Ghana from the Global North. The organization centers women, disabled people, and family members of children with disabilities in its programs and the unique barriers to basic income these groups often face in the community (and globally). The organization was founded by Matilda Lartey, a Ghanaian fashion designer and environmental educator, and is governed by a board of local activists and artisans. MFC’s team has collaborated closely with The MFI Foundation team since 2016.

MFC Partner: The Aftermath Learning Lab

Aftermath Learning Lab is an environmental health research and art lab whose mission is to reduce global textile waste and other technology-related pollution through research at the intersection of art, policy, developmental psychology, education, and public health with an applied environmental justice lens. The lab is an academic-community partnership between researchers at Boston College and partners Make Fashion Clean (MFC) and The Matilda Flow Inclusion Foundation (MFI Foundation). The lab is run by an interdisciplinary team of researchers studying human development, informal STEM learning, health equity, and design-driven thinking along with artists, environmental educators, and activists. The lab was founded in 2019 out of years of related collaboration between Dr. Julia DeVoy, Dielle Lundberg, and Matilda Lartey.
