Pasig City resident Rosabelle Obusan, 46, has been collecting and selling garbage since she was a small girl. She had dreamt of having her own junk shop, but lacked financial capital to do so.
Her wish became a reality when the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines recently hosted a turnover ceremony at the University of the Philippines Bahay ng Alumni in Diliman, Quezon City.
“Now I can finally get a business permit and a mayor’s permit to fulfill my dream. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. I can finally start my business,” Obusan said. The equipment and grants were part of the Women in Waste Economic Empowerment program of the Clean Cities, Blue Ocean initiative under the United States Agency for International Development.
“It is impressive that women are part of our work to clean communities. It is our privilege to assist you and your families in our mission to achieve a world without waste. said CCFPI President Cecile Alcantara in her address.
