How it works
The project targets a startling reality: only 9% of plastic in Uganda is currently recycled. It responds by:
- Setting up active school clubs that meet weekly.
- Delivering structured environmental literacy workshops.
- Distributing color-coded sorting bins to teach youth to separate waste (plastic, paper, organic).
- Providing entrepreneurship training focused on upcycling plastic packaging into functional items — urban farm planters, school furniture, and more.
