Clean up Nepal’s up-cycling training is an initiative to manage dry waste, and support and empower women by teaching them skills to turn otherwise discarded plastics into useful products and earn a supplementary income.
Kathmandu is choking due to single-use plastic bags. This is one of the biggest environmental problems we face in the urban and semi urban areas of Nepal. Let’s take action NOW to change this. Please sign this petition now to raise awareness among your friends and family. One person at a time, we can make a difference!
Our vision is for communities to have access to a solid waste management system and the associated knowledge and resources that enables them to live a healthy, disease-free life. We do this by connecting, educating and empowering people on improved solid waste management through a people-centred, strength based approach to improve community health, well-being and opportunity.
We work to empower the volunteers and communities we work with for they are central to our organisation. We do this by providing training, volunteer induction sessions and workshops. We have a strong Clean up Nepal team in Kathmandu. We are currently in the process of building the capacity of our teams in Bhaktapur, Pokhara and Chitwan.
Our people come from all over the place – Kathmandu, Chitwan, Pokhara, Bhaktapur, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Darwin, New York. We are designers, communication experts, strategic planners, human resources specialists, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, students, urban planners, organisational development experts, teachers, media specialists. We are a vibrant group of individuals and our passion for the environment brings us together!
