Our projects

Pilot Projects

The Recycling Route:

It is conducted in the touristic area in the Historic Center of Sucre, which promotes the separation of different types of recyclable materials at the source in restaurants, bars, hotels, cafes, etc. Recyclables are collected weekly by waste pickers, that benefit from the sale of the materials.

Paper Guardians:

This project, implemented in schools located in downtown Sucre, focuses on teaching students how to separate paper from the rest of the waste they generate. Simultaneously, ludic workshops are conducted every three months to reinforce the learning process and introduce environmental concepts. The main goal of the project is to raise awareness on the potential impacts of our actions as individuals and as a society on the planet.

Capacity Development

Skills Certification:

At the end of 2024, the Foundation helped organize a process aiming at assessing and certifying the skills of waste pickers belonging to two organizations besed in Sucre -Ciudad Blanca and Por Un Mundo Mejor. This certificate, awarded by the Ministry of Education, acknowledges the skills developed by the collectors to perform their work and is a step forward in the formalization and social inclusion of these professionals in our society.

Agro-environmental court trial

A trial was held against the Municipality of Sucre regarding the environmental damages caused by the city dump. Within the framework of this trial, the Foundation was appointed as “amicus curiae” to support the judge and contribute with technical expertise. In this capacity, the Foundation participated in hearings, commented on expert reports, and provided opinions on the proposals of both parties.
