“It wasn’t just things we wanted to fix.”

Born in the Netherlands, Repair Cafés bring volunteers together to fix household items, clothing, and bicycles for free. But their mission goes beyond simple repairs. They bring memories back to life, strengthen communities by welcoming newcomers, and inspire us to cherish what we already own, resisting the tide of consumerism.

Who comes to Repair Cafés? What stories are shared? This is the story of people fixing more than just broken things
