Strengthening segregation, data driven planning, and community participation in Fuvahmulah. The project trains WAMCO, the council, and the public, develops island level segregation standards, improves collection and IWMC operations, and pilots waste to wealth initiatives to reduce disposal and increase reuse.
Reducing hazardous waste at source in Noonu Atoll under the Veshi Small Grants Program: community engagement, targeted workshops, and a Fibreglass Waste Management Guideline for the boatbuilding and repair sector, aligned with national chemical management and POPs priorities.
A national Extended Producer Responsibility framework for the Maldives, developed with adelphi. The project designs a practical EPR system, defines roles and financing mechanisms, and lays out a phased action plan for shared responsibility between producers, government, and waste operators.
Rebuilding trust in Malé's tap water by installing public fountains and educating residents about the municipal supply, so bottled water becomes the exception rather than the habit.
Rescuing clothes for secondhand use and upcycling the rest into reusable products, with Dreamers Maldives and Preloved.mv. The project works exclusively with seamstresses and women's development committees, and 90% of sales go to the seamstresses themselves.
Audits across all thirteen islands of Noonu Atoll, supported by a Ministry of Environment grant: identifying sources of waste generation with an emphasis on hazardous materials, so strategies reflect the challenges and opportunities of each island.
