As earlier mentioned we want to focus on the reusing and using of locally available materials that is why we will be going for things like tree roots to make furnitures, the offcuts to make the same, reuse glass bottles to make vases and many other meaningful products encountered in a daily lifestyle. I am also a youth focused person, being raised from the ghetto I want to take this as a chance to create job opportunities to some of the youths as I have been helped before to achieve some other things in life, this should be a project to to change the perspective of the youths in the country and bring beauty to our homes.
01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?
I am trying to create job employment by having a workshop and attracting interested individuals to learn and explore the market. Another thing is that the project aims at reusing locally available materials to reduce carbon emissions to the environment and giving meaning to the use of what we have.
01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).
1. First you do get value for money since we want to stay in the game and by that we aim at giving best services. 2. You get to enjoy the uniqueness of a commodity not anything that you will just get in your next door neighbour. 3. You don't have to worry about where to find us for we will be having a physical location.

01.08 Please describe the profile of each of the other partners (skills, experience, etc.)
1. The lady has been in the sales industry for quite some time but unfortunately has mainly got jobs that pay on commission so we thought it'd be of great use to get something going for her she can be sure of something at the end of the month. 2.
