Plastic Bricks: three solutions in one

Through the Plastic Bricks program, Unicef creates a cleaner living environment for children, ensures children can attend school, and supports the women who collect plastic:

• Unicef trains women in collecting, safely storing, and processing plastic waste.
• Unicef provides these women with entrepreneurship training so that they can start their own businesses.
• Unicef purchases the plastic waste from the women at a fair price.
• Unicef processes the plastic waste in a factory into building blocks, which are used to construct new classrooms.
