Pakistan’s Saaf Mohala Saaf Pakistan (which translates to clean neighborhood clean Pakistan) primary school is promoting the circular economy in a country where garbage management infrastructure is lacking.

By bringing waste from their own homes, students have helped divert 600 kilograms of waste from landfills in the last four years. Read more about Saaf Mohala Saaf Pakistan’s upcycling curriculum.
