About us |
The increasing pressures of limited natural resources; pollution, disease and war are constantly being felt around the world, including Africa. It is estimated that ten million hectares of forest are being cleared each year; a sizable portion of this is being used to manufacture goods, including coffins. The materials used in the construction of wooden coffins (handles, hinges, screws etc) create pollution when cremated, when buried some parts never degrade. In addition, the HIV and AIDS pandemic is placing immense financial pressure on Africa's communities. Surviving families and aid organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to afford traditional coffins. As a consequence people are requiring a wider choice in funeral products. |
