Hand Day Go, Hand Dey Come Project

・言語：

ピジン語（英語とガーナ現地語の2ヶ国語が混合されて出来た通用語）

・意味：

情けは人の為ならず。人に親切にすると、巡り巡って自分に戻ってくる。人々が互いに責任を分かち合い恩返しをしていくような循環が、ともに助け合い生きていくコミュニティを築いていく。

・プロジェクトの趣旨：

Hand Day Go, Hand Dey Come Projectは、ガーナの首都アクラ最大の古着市場Kantanmantoとその界隈に暮らす人々の生活・向上のための様々な取組に伴走します。WORKSTUDIOはガーナ非営利団体Glimmer of Hope Foundationと連携しPANECO奨学基金を立ち上げ、古着市場等で路上生活をしながら荷物運びで生計を立てるKayayeの少女たちの就学や生活の立て直しなどを支援していきます。

中長期的には、ファッション廃棄に関わる社会政治的な諸要因を理解した上で、古着問題の未来に明るい展望を見出すことができるような変化を生み出す共助の仕組みをコミュニティの中で形成し、グローバルノース発端のファッション廃棄問題の責任を押し付け合うのではなく、その問題の解消に向けた社会的なサポート体制やインフラを整えていくことを目指していきます。

Hand Dey Go, Hand Dey Come Project

・Type of Language : Pidgin Language

・Meaning : Essentially, as you give, so shall you receive—communal responsibly and reciprocation cycle having people to support each other and live in collectivity.

・Purpose and projection :The Hand Dey Go, Hand Dey Come project will be used to better the lives of individuals in Accra's second-hand clothing markets, with a particular focus on those living in Kantamanto and its surroundings, Accra's largest second-hand clothing market. WORKSTUDIO, in collaboration with the Ghanaian nonprofit organization Glimmer of Hope Foundation, has established the PANECO Scholarship Fund to support Kayaye girls who sustain themselves by carrying goods while living on the streets of secondhand clothing markets and other urban areas. This initiative aims to assist them in accessing education and rebuilding their lives.In the medium to long term, the project seeks to foster a mutual support system within the community that not only helps Kayaye girls but also contributes to broader systemic change. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political factors surrounding fashion waste, we aim to create a future where sustainable solutions emerge for the challenges posed by the secondhand clothing trade. Rather than shifting the responsibility for the global North-driven fashion waste crisis onto affected communities, our goal is to establish the necessary social support structures and infrastructure to address the issue in a collaborative and constructive manner.
