Help us convert our glass studio to be more GREEN

Our Project: Over the past few years, we have set out to build a glass blowing studio that created ART while working and training members in the community. We have been successful!! We trained studio members in glass blowing, held art exhibitions focusing on glass art and managed to build a business working with local hotels and restaurant groups.

Our Challenge: With growth comes challenges, challenges to learn from and make necessary adjustments. One of our biggest challenges is POWER. Currently our furnaces and our annealer run on electricity and gas which is not only expensive but is also an unreliable power source in Uganda. When power unexpectedly goes out, we suffer from the loss of products in production and lose days having to reheat the furnaces.

Our Solution: Through research and discussions with our mentors we have come up with a solution, convert our equipment to operate on used oil collected from local business. Not only will this transition improve our production and training workshops it will also fall in line with our intention of being a GREEN business focused on recycling and upcycling waste within our community
