Recycling for environmental wellbeing and economic opportunities
Ongoing
Challenge
Plastic waste mismanagement in Bidibidi Refugee Settlement leads to environmental degradation. Meanwhile, youth unemployment drives economic challenges for refugees and their host communities.
Solution
Generous Designs Africa will establish a recycling centre in Bidibidi to convert plastic waste into useful products, such as cups, plates, and school supplies, while providing skills training and job opportunities for young people, women, and particularly young mothers.
Impact
320 individuals gain employment and skill development, environmental conditions are improved through the reduction of plastic waste, and economic empowerment is fostered for both refugees and host community members.
