Problem
- Plastic waste mismanagement ( In Burundi, in the Bujumbura city, it is stated that out of 630 tons of waste produced daily, around 51 tons is plastic waste)
- Unemployment and lack of opportunities for young people on the job market
- Lack of a pen production unit for the local market
Solution
We have created a plastic waste system collection that enables private households,individuals and businesses to dispose of their waste responsibly. we have also set up a recycling system where we transform plastic waste into pens, creating jobs and promoting environmental protection. This initiative supports disadvantaged children with school materials, ensuring quality education for all.
