From Waste to Worth

The Bush Ways Foundation recently returned to Khumaga to visit one of our inspiring beneficiaries, Conscious Kgosiemang, whose work is turning glass waste into something meaningful.

Through this collaboration, Bush Ways supplies recycled glass to Conscious, which he skillfully transforms into handcrafted drinking glasses that are sold back to our camps. We’ve also been able to support him with glass-cutting tools and by creating exposure to tourists passing through the village.

This partnership is about more than recycling, it’s about empowerment, sustainability, and keeping Khumaga clean of glass litter, while supporting a local entrepreneur with a growing vision for the future.
