Buy Food with Plastic

🚀 Introducing Team Switzerland! Here in Zurich in our Charity Gallery we mainly focus on fundraising, coordinating the operations in Ghana, Nicaragua, India, global communications & social media. Every day, we give our best to make the world a better place. 🌍✨ 👥 Our team includes many more faces, as we receive valuable support from many volunteers, which we highly appreciate. We have only nine employees, seven of them work part-time from 20-50% . The management, consisting of Anna Gracia Herbst and Khalil Radi, are the only full-time employees in Switzerland. Do you have a special skill or talent and want to help us in our free time? Support our mission, and you might soon be part of this incredible team! 🤝💼  #Teamwork #Fundraising #SocialMedia #Communication #Events #MakeADifference #JoinUs #Ghana #Nicaragua #India #Switzerland

Heute war es soweit, und wir konnten uns endlich persönlich in die Augen sehen 😍 Die Verbindung zu euch und vor allem diese die ihr in Nicaragua, Indien und Ghana schafft, motiviert uns bei solchen Treffen sehr. Wir freuen uns auf die kommenden Projekte mit euch und danken euch von Herzen, dass ihr bei uns in Düsseldorf wart. ❤️ Anna Gracia Herbst Khalil Radi Was macht Buy Food with Plastic genau: Sie gehen zwei globale Probleme gleichzeitig an: Plastikverschmutzung und extreme Armut. Sie initiieren Veranstaltungen, bei denen die lokale Bevölkerung in Ghana, Nicaragua und Indien mit Plastikflaschen warme Mahlzeiten bezahlen kann. Gleichzeitig werden sie über Umweltthemen, wie die Verschmutzung durch Plastik, sensibilisiert. In erster Linie widmen sie sich damit den Entwicklungszielen 1 (Keine Armut) und 12 (Nachhaltig Produzieren und Konsumieren) der Vereinten Nationen. Ihre Vision ist es, einen sich selbst funktionierenden Kreislauf zu schaffen, in dem sie die gesammelten Plastikflaschen zu neuen Produkten weiterverarbeiten und diese durch den Verkauf wieder in die Produktionskette eingliedern.

🌟 Our main community event took place on June 15th, 2024, at the Dwabor Community Centre. The day was filled with excitement and impact as usual despite early morning rains and showers the previous day. 🌧️ 🙌 Nine helpers, seven staff members, and special guests Mr. Kingsley Arthur and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Arthur joined us. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the gathered community, ready to participate. 👏 ♻️ The event started with an awareness session on plastic waste segregation while Augustina, our cook, was making delicious hot meals. For this event, we made a vegetarian meal of Rice and Beans stew with Plantain. 🍚🍌 🗑️ We then proceeded with plastic collection and data entry to count sachets, PET, and HDPE plastics. Music and dance added to the lively atmosphere, with participants showcasing their dance moves. 🎶💃 🍽️ Everyone was served a meal, and here is the impact we made: We proudly distributed 258 meals and saved 4777 bottles and 3020 plastic sachets from ending up in nature. 🌍✨ This is impactful, isn't it? 💪

Did you know that 98% of participants at our community events are women and children? 👩👧👦🌟     Women globally bear a disproportionate burden of poverty and food insecurity, largely due to their roles as providers and caregivers in society. Their contributions often go unpaid and unrecognized, while are not afforded equal rights and opportunities as men.     Buy Food with Plastic is committed to empowering women to support themselves and their families. We stand in solidarity with women everywhere who suffer from the effects of inequality. 💪🌍♀️    #EmpowerWomen #EndPoverty #FoodSecurity #GenderEquality #CommunitySupport #SocialJustice #WomensRights #EqualityForAll #GlobalImpact #Empowerment #SustainableDevelopment #StandTogether
