Who we are
A distinctive identity
Cash for trash makes it available for EVERYONE to provide for themselves and their families. No longer do people have to go to bed hungry. The only thing they need to do is pick up some trash from the street during the day, put it in a trashbag and deliver it at our drop-off point. With the trash that people bring in they can buy themselves food in our own small grocery store.
This project provides a solution that is empowering and creates a culture of social responsibility among our participants. They “do something to get something”, rather than getting handouts, while at the same time uplifting and “greening” their community.
​
Let's take a look at our project below!
We call them waste entrepeneurs
Its more than just bags
By creating job opportunities for the people, we don't only give them the possibility to work, it's much more than that. It changes the mindset of the people that they actually matter and feel seen by someone. It tells them that they are not worthless but that they can actually change the endless circle of poverty and depending on others. All of a sudden they see possibilities and start to smile again!

''I don't want chips or lollipops, I want porridge''

This kid is only seven years old and brought three bags all by himself. Instead of buying himself some snacks, he choose porridge to survive the week.
