Junk Collection - Better Resource Consumption

To empower youth to fight for improvement, especially for children's education and to ensure that every child in society has the opportunity to pursue education
We carried out a junk collection in our neighbourhood, gathering tonnes of unwanted items like plastic bottles, metal, scarves, old newspapers, and books. After that, we sold it to a nearby scrap dealer and donated all of the proceeds to underprivileged students in the neighbourhood.
We were able to reach 500+ homes with our entire unit, and via this, we collected loads of scrap, allowing us to make about 50k PKR, all of which was donated for the youngsters' education.
Working to improve people's educational opportunities is crucial, especially for individuals who have the potential to be successful professionals but are unable to do so because of financial constraints. - Sometimes the original thought was that by selling the unused scrap, we could make a big profit and use it to improve society.
