Voices of Transformation
"Through this economic women empowerment through plastic recycling program, I have been able to increase my daily income from 3,000 TZS to 10,000 TZS. This has enabled me to address small challenges in meeting my family responsibilities."

"Before joining this program, I struggled with numerous small debts from participating in informal revolving funds (UPATU) just to make ends meet. The burden became overwhelming. However, through WORF's group initiative, I have achieved a sustainable income and regained stability in my life."
