Reducing Waste

1 Million Livelihoods

Our Livelihoods sustainability program is an innovative initiative that seeks to address the growing issue of waste management while promoting job creation in various industries. The program is designed to empower and mobilise communities by providing them with the necessary skills and tools to recycle waste materials and turn them into valuable resources.

Through this approach, we aim to reduce waste and promote sustainability while simultaneously creating job opportunities in areas such as waste management, recycling, and manufacturing. By engaging local communities in this process, the program also helps to build stronger and more resilient communities that are better equipped to tackle environmental challenges.

We are committed to creating 1 million new livelihoods in regenerative agriculture and new go-to-market innovation strategies.
