The Former Kayayo Building A Sustainable Fashion Brand In Ghana - Dinnani

Meet Najiha Yahaya, founder of fashion brand http://www.instagram.com/Dinnanioff Dinnani means “it is possible” in Dagbani, and Najiha’s ability to transform discarded single-use T-shirts (like that conference, reunion, or marathon T-shirt you have stuffed somewhere in the bottom of your drawer) into high-quality FINE yarns certainly lives up to the name. Najiha worked as a kayayo (head porter) in Kantamanto before joining The Or Foundation’s Mabilgu training program in 2023, where she developed a passion for combining environmental sustainability and crochet, leading her to launch a brand dedicated to both people and planet. With training support from http://www.instagram.com/urbanfibers_ , Najiha has honed the craft of creating t-shirt yarn that she skillfully knits, weaves, or crochets into delicate fashion accessories and wearable garments. Each piece is crafted with care, blending sustainability with style.
