Why it matters
The Maldives faces serious challenges with plastic waste management. Many islands lack advanced recycling systems, and much plastic is burned or transported long distances.
Our workshops demonstrate that small-scale solutions are possible. Local action matters. Waste can be transformed.
"When you join a Rashu workshop, you're not just making something, you're contributing to a growing circular movement in island communities."
