Sonia Asawo

Location
Kenya
Sustainability Zone

Sonia Asawo is an innovator dedicated to addressing the environmental and social challenges caused by fast fashion and textile waste. She is developing a project that upcycles textile waste into artistic creations while engaging children in creative workshops to promote sustainability and responsibility. By focusing on this work, she aims to reduce landfill waste, beautify polluted spaces, and empower communities to see waste as a valuable resource. This mission is deeply personal to her, as she believes the most vulnerable—especially children—should not bear the burden of environmental crises. With determination and vision, Sonia is paving the way for sustainable solutions that make a real difference.
