Project- Reborn- Turning Waste into Worth by JCI Dhaka West

Every Thread Deserves a Second Life.

Project Theme: Sustainability | Circular Fashion | Artisan Empowerment

Project Brief:
We are happy to announce the launching of our “Project Reborn” by JCI Dhaka West on JCI Sustainability Week!

Reborn is a JCI Dhaka West sustainability initiative that aims to give unwanted clothing and textile products a second life through creative upcycling while creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for local artisans.

The project will encourage members of the community to donate old, unused or unwanted garments and textile products. Instead of allowing these items to become waste, they will be collected, sorted and creatively transformed into new and desirable products using techniques such as Nakshi-inspired stitching, embroidery, Shibori, tie-dye, patchwork, appliqué and other traditional and contemporary craft techniques.

Local artisans will be actively involved in the transformation process, allowing them to earn from their skills while preserving traditional craftsmanship.

The finished products will then be resold through JCI-organized exhibitions, events and other suitable platforms. The revenue generated will be used to compensate and support the participating artisans and, where appropriate, help fund future project activities.

This creates a continuous circular model:

DONATE → UPCYCLE → EMPOWER → SELL → REINVEST → REPEAT

How the Project Works:

1. COLLECT
Set up collection drives where people can donate unwanted clothing, fabrics, bags and other textile products.

2. SORT
Materials are sorted according to fabric type, condition, colour and potential for reuse.

3. REIMAGINE
Designers and artisans identify ways to transform each item—rather than treating it simply as waste.

4. RECREATE
Local artisans turn the materials into renewed products using techniques such as Nakshi stitching, Shibori, tie-dye, embroidery, patchwork and other traditional/creative crafts.

5. REINTRODUCE
The redesigned products can be showcased through exhibitions, pop-up events, social media or a sustainable marketplace.

6. IMPACT
A portion of the proceeds, where applicable, can go back to participating artisans.
