Who says ingenuity and brilliance are tags for big names alone? You can make your self-made household gadgets become synonymous to them too. Here are a few creations that solve your day-to-day problems with African ingenuity. Recycling things to add new value to the old not only saves money, but also contributes to the environment.
Today I bring to you unusual things straight from African homes that might inspire you to get a little creative.
