OUR APPROACH
One-day entrepreneurship workshops were conducted using local-language training material across multiple cities. Participants were introduced to six waste-based business models, including composting, plastic processing, RRR centres, and textile waste management. Sessions blended awareness, skill-building, and business orientation.
THE RESULT
Over 15,000 participants were empowered, with more than 3,000 women expressing interest in pursuing waste-based enterprises. The program expanded livelihood pathways while strengthening community-level waste reduction and circular economy adoption.
