Comfort Peace Ayikoru

Location
Uganda
Sustainability Zone
Decarbonization

With a passion for environmental sustainability and healthcare equity, Comfort addresses these pressing issues by transforming agricultural waste into biodegradable yarn to replace environmentally damaging fabrics in the fashion industry. Through this innovative approach, Comfort creates locally knitted baby carriers embedded with vital monitoring sensors, effectively preventing infant health issues like hypothermia and reducing neonatal mortality rates.

Comfort's commitment to fostering a healthier, more resilient future for both people and the planet is evident in her work, which not only promotes sustainable fashion practices locally but also improves neonatal care, saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. Her solution has a ripple effect that extends beyond borders, inspiring eco-conscious practices and enhancing infant health globally.
