In an age where it's never been more convenient to buy something new to replace the things that break, Brigitte Sistig is trying to make repairing easier.
The Repair Cafe Aotearoa NZ supports more than 75 local Repair Cafes across the country where anyone can pop in and get their item fixed. It's free of charge, although koha is welcomed to contribute to the running of the events.
Brigitte is Repair Cafe co-founder and recently won the Growing the Movement Award at the Tāmaki Makaurau Zero Waste Awards.
