The project trained up to 100 homemakers in Linden to effectively manage household waste (sorting, composting, reduced use of plastic bags, recycling and reuse). Training was done in four, 2-day workshops.  The training empowered the attendees to understand the role of households in the waste management cycle and to make wise choices that would ultimately result in a reduction of waste produced in Linden.  

​

The premise was that an informed homemaker will create an informed household and make informed choices with respect to waste.

​

The post workshop monitoring and subsequent phone surveys/interviews showed that most participants were applying some of the knowledge gained and that there were changes in household waste management practices.
