Waste Management Team: Organic Composting Program, Solomon Islands
Before joining PCFML’s Waste to Wealth program, Tracy Silas, a mum of three in Gizo, was struggling to make ends meet. She picked up casual jobs where she could, but nothing steady enough to properly support her family.
Through the program, she learned how to turn food scraps and organic waste into compost using Black Soldier Fly larvae — something she’d never even heard of before. With support from our local team and partners in India, Tracy gained the skills and confidence to build a reliable livelihood. “Not all waste is worthless,” she says, as she now shares her knowledge with others in her community.
Today, Tracy runs composting workshops, provides for her family, and inspires other women and girls to step up for healthier communities and oceans.
