Chris Way is
the founder of the Atinga
Project. After a study abroad in Rwanda Chris came back and
wanted to do more with the experiences he had in Africa. The tire
sandal that was crafted for him was a constant reminder of how
different the world was and the life he had there. Because of this,
he founded the Atinga project which connects Rwandan artisan
crafters with people in the West who want quality, environmentally
friendly, supportive, long-lasting footwear that is interesting and
unique
I had actually done a very similar project for some time and
therefore am very interested in this as well. Listen to how
developed the project and raised over $13,000 on Kickstarter. We
catch him 4 days before leaving for Rwanda to get this incredible
project started.
Let's wish him luck!
