This is a unique model of a Dakota DC-3 aeroplane handmade from recycled cans by Fair Trade artisans in Madagascar. The artisans are employed by the Fair trade organisation Bezalila. Bezalila is based in Madagascar and was founded in 1994 as a co-operative to unite local workshops. It provides Fair Trade employment to artisans who were previously living in poverty. The artisans specialise in the modelling of recycled tin cans, called "Kapoaka". With the profits generated by the workshops, Kapoaka artisans have built their houses, bought rice fields and established a pig-breeding farm.
