Newlands Community: Transforming Lives Through Upcycling

In the heart of Newlands, Johannesburg, a remarkable transformation is taking place. What started as an informal settlement has grown into a thriving community where sustainability, creativity, and opportunity come together. Upcycle has partnered with the Newlands community to create meaningful change by turning waste into resources, skills into livelihoods, and challenges into opportunities.

From Informal to Inspired

The Newlands community has evolved from makeshift shelters into a dynamic, self-sustaining space. Through upcycling, we provide training and tools to help residents develop valuable skills, create marketable products, and generate income.
