In the absence of a national recycling system, we took the responsibility of collecting the plastic waste in our community. However, our mission to humanize Peru goes beyond that. That is why to achieve our mission, it is necessary to follow certain steps. The first step is to educate ourselves about what happens on our planet and the opportunities we have to generate a positive impact. After educating ourselves, we take action by recycling our waste to prevent it from damaging our environment. Finally, we make sure to close the cycle by helping vulnerable Peruvians with blankets, ponchos, and socks. This way, we provide a sustainable platform where the smallest grain of sand contributes to a change. It all started in 2016 when we were 13 years old. We were only teenagers yet we dreamed of creating a social project to help Peru. Without knowing what to do, we began researching our country’s problems. We then learned that we suffer from severe problems regarding poverty and pollution. After a few months of research, we were able to find a solution that helped solve both problems. Our idea was simple, recollect plastic bottles, recycle them into blankets, and then donate these to People in need all over the country. That’s how Ayudando Abrigando was born.
