We're starting a circular fashion revolution. Loom connects you with designers to upcycle your clothes. Using AI and machine learning, we're making upcycling easy, fun and accessible. In the UK it’s estimated we only wear 1/4 of our wardrobes. That’s 1.6 billion unworn items of clothing in the UK alone, mainly due to bad design, bad fit and poor quality. This is leading to a global crisis. By 2050, 150 million tonnes of clothes will be in landfill. In fact, the problem is so huge you can already see a textile landfill in Chile from space.
There’s no need for those clothes to be thrown away. There are tens of thousands of designers and seamstresses in the UK who can help repair, alter or redesign your clothes - saving them from landfill and giving them a whole new lease of life. But currently ordering custom made or upcycling your clothes is expensive and inaccessible. Would you even know where to start? Imagine if you could create your own tailor made wardrobe at the touch of a button. Introducing Loom. Loom connects you with designers to create bespoke or upcycled clothing. Tell us about an item you no longer wear, and we’ll give you ideas on how we could transform it. Or already have a vision of what you want to create? Tell us & our designers will bring your vision to life. Our technology uses AI and machine learning to match-make your projects with the right designers based on style, location and design. And our technology not only supports you but also our incredible community of designers. Loom is an all-in-one software solution to not only help our designers find more work, but also manage orders, payments & customer service, to help grow their businesses sustainably.

Agriculture is the primary source of income and food security for over 80% of the population in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo). Unfortunately, farmers in this region face numerous challenges that significantly hinder their productivity and overall well-being. These challenges include limited access to important information, inadequate storage infrastructure, transportation limitations, insufficient financial assistance, reliance on rainfall, and a lack of opportunities for training and skill development. As a result, over 7.7 million people in the DR Congo are currently struggling with severe food insecurity.
Our organization is fully committed to supporting farmers by providing them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to enhance their productivity and meet the highest standards of quality.One of the primary focuses of our program is to offer farmers comprehensive training on the most effective agricultural practices. This encompasses guidance on soil management, efficient water utilization, integrated pest and disease control, and responsible use of chemicals. Moreover, we provide training on sustainable production techniques, such as organic farming and permaculture, to minimize environmental impact and safeguard natural resources.
