The Trash Transformation Initiative (T.T.I), initiated by passionate and devoted Millennium Fellowships from Mzuzu University, aimed to address the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of "No Poverty" while promoting environmental sustainability in the Luwinga community. To combat the trash problem, the T.T.I. project was designed as a three-month initiative, combining community action, education, and entrepreneurship. It sought to create a greener environment and economic opportunities for the disadvantaged through clean-up campaigns, recycling awareness, and training for recycling enterprises. The project focuses on reaching an even wider audience by collaborating with local schools, businesses, and community organizations. This will help create a sustained impact and increase recycling awareness.
