One aspect of the society that has continued to evolve by the day has remained the way people dress. The challenge has been to the way the society accepts. This comes with a multitude of trends and styles predominantly from the west, passed on via social media and the virtual teacher, the television. Given that most of what people wear come from the west, finding new solutions to the demands of the fashion industry has remain an aspect loved by many but exploited by a few.

One person that has decided to provide local solutions to these demands is Tchielock Namegni Pauline Vanessa. She is now transforming what others consider as waste to into use.

Strides Made...

In January 2019, the young entrepreneur created a start-up venture known as Vanny Arts with the aim of solving the problems of waste valorisation in Cameroon and create exceptional designs that will make Cameroonians consume their own products. Founded with the main aim to valorise non biodegradable waste; transforming them into other products, prolonging their life span and promote culture through the choice of designs and materials.

To her, passing on these skills to other Cameroonians remains her prime objective. "The purpose of creating Vanny Arts is to make Cameroonians appreciate and consume beautiful designs made in Cameroon, consume home products and help youths acquire skills out of the classroom work that can help them in their homes or for income generating through the trainings that we organize", she said.
