AEL HouseHOLD Plastic waste Collection Project
AEL’s Community Women Household Plastic Waste Collection Project is a cornerstone of our mission to promote sustainable practices and empower women in local communities. Through this initiative, we engage women as agents of positive change by enabling them to collect plastic waste from households and local areas. By doing so, we not only address the critical issue of plastic waste pollution but also provide these women with a means of income generation and empowerment.
The project involves training and equipping women to efficiently gather plastic waste, including a variety of plastic types such as PET, HDPE, and more. This waste is then processed and repurposed to reduce its impact on the environment. The initiative not only contributes to cleaner surroundings and reduced plastic pollution but also enhances the financial stability of the women involved.
AEL’s Community Women Household Plastic Waste Collection Project embodies the values of gender equality, environmental responsibility, and community development. By engaging women in sustainable practices, we create a ripple effect that positively influences families, communities, and the planet at large.

Fostering Environmental Responsibility and Community Cohesion
AEL's Community Cleanup Activities
AEL’s Community Cleanup Activities are dedicated efforts aimed at creating positive environmental impacts and fostering community cohesion. These activities involve mobilizing volunteers of all ages to participate in organized cleanups of public spaces such as parks, beaches, streets, and recreational areas. By collecting and properly disposing of litter and waste, we not only beautify these areas but also prevent pollutants from entering waterways and ecosystems.
Our cleanup events often include educational components, raising awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste and adopting sustainable habits. We collaborate with local schools, organizations, and residents to encourage participation and create a lasting culture of cleanliness. These initiatives go beyond mere cleaning – they empower communities to take ownership of their surroundings, promote active citizenship, and contribute to the global movement towards a cleaner, greener future.
