Facilitating Recycling, Dignity & Development
We (Elaine Stanley and Tia-Mari Jacobs) shared a dream: to make our town a little cleaner and to feed people in need. The idea came from a very dear friend whom we lost tragically in 2021. After a cup of coffee on a stoep, we decided to bring her idea to life.
We had no background in community development, no funding, and no clear path forward. Only determination and heart. We sat on the idea for a few years, planning, doing research and more planning…
Eventually in September 2024, Clean Trade was born!
