We tackle hunger & plastic pollution at the same time. We are present in rural regions of Nicaragua, Ghana and in Mumbai, India. Our mission is as simple as it is powerful: We exchange 20 plastic bottles and/or 30 pure water plastic sachets (in Ghana) for a hot meal. This happens at our regular events, where the collected plastic is recycled on-site, creating jobs and promoting environmental awareness. Our solution is scalable and can be adapted to local needs.

We tackle SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), while also addressing SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by building a circular economy around plastic waste. We believe we can benefit from the Catalyst2030 community's expertise to enhance our actions and increase our impact. In return, we are eager to share our experiences with fellow changemakers to collectively achieve the SDGs.
