創造就業,環保,賦權

"Turn Trash into Treasure" - WaysOut Hong Kong provides young underprivileged mothers with training and job opportunities through upcycling household food waste into sustainable jewelry.

We are building an ecosystem that comprises 3 spectrums – (1) creating opportunities for young underprivileged mothers, (2) upcycling waste fruit peel and veggies into sustainable jewelry, and (3) creatively educating the public on food waste.

We have already recruited 5 young underprivileged mothers onto our Marvel Mami talent-training development program with job and training opportunities with flexible working hours. We aim to enhance their capabilities to improve their financial situations and also becoming socially active with the community. In the course of 12 months, we have provided a remarkable 500+ hours of training and social engagement. During this time, our Marvel Mami have handcrafted a range of sustainable jewelry and also taken up leadership roles in facilitating our public educational workshops and markets! Our Marvel Mami are obviously fully satisfied with the talent-training development program!

WaysOut reduces food waste, reduces pressure on landfills, but fulfills the market demand for sustainable fashion items and locally made products. Amazingly, in the past year, we have hosted more than 37 educational #TrashyTreasure Workshops in partnership with secondary schools, universities and other organizations, for example, Unilever, CUHK, the Methodist Centre, Yuen Long Merchants Association Secondary School, TECM.

Our #TrashyTreasure workshops and markets are also reaching out into the community, with over 1,000 individuals promising to take individual action towards sustainability – turning more trash into more treasure!
