Overview of ZWAP Foundation
Zero Waste Amazing Projects (ZWAP) Foundation is a pioneering social enterprise dedicated to addressing one of the most pressing issues of our time: waste management. Established in response to the detrimental impacts of inadequate waste disposal on human health and the environment, the ZWAP Foundation seeks to transform waste into valuable resources and foster sustainable communities.
Our Story
The inception of the ZWAP Foundation is deeply personal. The loss of a beloved family member to cancer, linked to poor waste management, underscored the urgent need for change. This tragic event ignited our commitment to explore the connections between waste and health, leading to the realization that inadequate waste disposal contributes to numerous health issues, including over 26 types of cancer. Our founder's resolve to confront this issue laid the groundwork for the ZWAP Foundation.
Who We Are
The ZWAP Foundation is composed of passionate individuals who are united by a common goal: to create a world where waste is minimized, and communities thrive in harmony with nature. We believe that through innovative solutions, education, and empowerment, we can turn waste into opportunities for economic growth, environmental sustainability, and improved quality of life.
