Our Eco store is a success! In this store we sell clothes, toys, school supplies and products for the home, the community exchanges with recyclable material (PET bottles, cardboard, mecato paper, aluminum, lids, etc.), money does not exist. The community feels identified with this project, since they manage to obtain a benefit by bringing all the usable material that they generate in their community and at the same time making their swamp and municipality cleaner.
We serve an average of 700 families in our warehouse on a monthly basis, benefiting approximately 2,000 people. Throughout the year 2022 we collected more than 60 tons of usable material and during these first two months of 2023 we brought more than six tons of all this recyclable material before it was found. In the streets, mangroves and swamps of the community, contaminating the water and nature.
We also have workshops to raise awareness, socialization and training in the circular economy model, environmental cleaning days.
Help us with your donations to continue collecting recyclable material so it doesn't end up in our beautiful swamp and continue educating the community
