The Problem
Since the start of the pandemic and the MCO, some single mothers have lost their jobs or earned a lower income. This poses a problem for them as they have to juggle between working and taking care of their children.
The Solution
The Beyond Bins project strives for a sustainable and circular economy by connecting corporate players, the underserved communities, and Biji-Biji Initiative partners.
This project works on small-scale plastic recycling which also benefits the B40 communities by providing an additional stream of income for them. Small-scale plastic waste recycling machines are provided to the communities to produce recycled products after a period of training and guidance. The plastic can either be shredded and sold to recyclers or created into new products that can be sold on both physical and digital platforms.
The communities will stand to gain through educational programs and awareness to instill a sustainability mindset.
ROSE Charities aims to help single mothers that are struggling in this pandemic by teaching them the basics of opening an online business and the right skills and methods needed to make an online business successful. Their program aims to ensure these single mothers are capable of navigating their way through the world of online business, and earn income while still having time to take care of their children at home.
