We plan and execute projects geared towards community waste reduction and the establishment of sustainable waste collection and recovery firms. For the past three years we have been engaged in a Community Waste Collection, Sorting & Recovery Programme in the South-South Region of Nigeria (Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Abia & Rivers States respectively). The project targets Women & Youth (Waste Pickers at dumpsites and landfills, Community Women & Youth).
This project is made possible with the support of our partners and donors.
