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.
