Club Hasiru Sole: Co-Founder

Worked extensively on upcycling — a creative and resource-efficient method that preserves the integrity of materials while requiring minimal energy compared to traditional recycling by collecting old shoes from local households, schools, and community centres.

Restored the shoes through local cobblers, ensuring they were comfortable, durable, and hygienic.

Distributed upcycled footwear to children in orphanages, slum communities, and sanitation workers who tirelessly maintain urban spaces.
