These colorful juggling balls are just one of the creative products crafted by UniqueEco artisans from recycled flip flops. Priced to provide a fair wage to collectors and crafters, each juggling ball represents a cleaner marine ecosystem and healthier coastal Kenyans.

Due to a confluence of two ocean currents off the coast of East Africa, tons of flip flops and debris from as far away as China wash up onto the shores of the Lamu Archipelago. Cleaning up these important breeding grounds for sea turtles provides fair trade income for island residents.
