Waste to Wealth Segregation Team
Philomena is part of our Waste to Wealth Team in Vizhinjam.
She is empowered to protect the ocean because she has witnessed the destruction of the local fish population due to plastic pollution.
Her family, not unlike many others in Vizhinjam, largely depends on fishing as their primary source of income.
Income opportunities within the small-scale fishing industry are decreasing – largely as a result of plastic pollution. She aims to reduce the use of plastics to protect nature and the ocean.
Our global programs need your support, help us make positive change for people and planet.
