Five Growing NGOs Protecting Our Environment

A prime example of how political, social and environmental elements add up is through the results of the work from IWA Kep. This NGO is a Swiss non-profit that helps women in Cambodia locate jobs in the plastic recycling industry. In the Kep Province, some women have difficulty finding a well-paying position. IWA Kep helps these women financially and creatively. 

The process first entails collecting plastic bags and training women to recycle them in creative ways. They turn the bags into baskets, purses and more, thus recycling them into long-lasting products. The company also seeks to raise children's awareness of plastic waste through education. Plus, they're looking for alternatives to this material for the future.
