The Problem
A lot of Standard 4 to 6 students in primary schools in Malaysia face difficulties where their reading, writing and counting skills are very poor. The children at PPR Taman Sri Kempas are not excluded from this ongoing education problem.
The Solution
The Beyond Bins project strives for a sustainable and circular economy by connecting corporate players, the underserved communities, and Biji-Biji Initiative partners.
This project works on small-scale plastic recycling which also benefits the B40 communities by providing an additional stream of income for them. Small-scale plastic waste recycling machines are provided to the communities to produce recycled products after a period of training and guidance. The plastic can either be shredded and sold to recyclers or created into new products that can be sold on both physical and digital platforms.
The communities will stand to gain through educational programs and awareness to instill a sustainability mindset.
Persatuan Kebajikan dan Perkembangan Masyarakat Johor executed a program with students aged 10 to 12 where the students partake in intensive online classes. The academic weakness of each student were assessed beforehand. Throughout the classes, the students went through intensive learning to improve their skills in reading, writing and counting. Their confidence and discipline were also enhanced through the program.
