The three micro-enterprises continue serving the 66 shantytowns. However, now all three micro-enterprises secured a signed contract with the municipality of Pucallpa for the services they provide.
In all three recycling centers (one for each micro-enterprise), all 45 rural recyclers received training in areas such as: environmental pollution and safety, occupational safety practices, and principles of micro-enterprise management. The training sessions took place in a period of three full days.
Training Plan for schools
CS develops the second module “ Environmental Management of Solid Waste at the School Level” and third module “Tools for an environmental education program in the classroom ”
Recycling of solid waste at the school level: The program of recycling at the classroom level was started with the active participation of 11 schools. During the inauguration ceremony, members of this program took a pledge in public.
1832 students were trained through seven workshops about environmental pollution and the creation. Most attendants were student leaders from primary and high school levels. Moreover, all students received training through the presentation of 7 plays with the subject: "Let's take care of the environment".
Sale of recyclable material at the school level starts.
At the community level, 70 community leaders from 29 shantytowns were trained. They also received training material for mass distribution. They received a certificate of participation of the “solid waste management module” provided by the municipal government and Ciudad Saludable.
150 health workers from 5 health centers received training in “the solid waste management module”.
