Examples of Reuse in South Sudan

The first example is a chair. Most seating is a square frame from metal or
wood and various textiles are constantly stretched around it. The wooden
versions usually start with an animal skin, then slowly get the fabrics. The
chairs start with a plastic weave, then get straps and scraps added.

The second example is resold cooking oil containers. We use them to store or
move water. This is the same use by most Sudanese as well. Sometimes the
containers are blue; these originally held chemicals not good for ingesting.
So you have to be really careful to clean them out.
