Impressions of our research trip to Kenya

In March 2018 we travelled to Kenya and visited different organisations in the plastic waste industry and got insights into existing prosthetic projects. We also had the chance to talk to amputees and get to know their daily lives and their challenges they have to face. It was the starting point of Project Circleg. Here we want to share some impressions of our trip to Kenya. Enjoy!
