Thank you for supporting Africa's First Trash for Education Innovation!
Every year, 300 million tons of plastic waste are generated globally. In Nigeria, over 88% of the 2.5 million tons of plastic waste go unrecycled, polluting our water and communities. At the same time, over 10 million Nigerian children are out of school. Niger State in Nigeria produces approximately 300 tons of waste each month, yet only 40% is properly collected. The uncollected waste is left scattered across the environment, affecting the health and well-being of local communities
Turning Trash into Opportunity, One Child at a Time
Every bottle, can, or plastic bag thrown away contributes to a larger crisis not just environmental, but educational. Nigeria has over 10.5 million children out of school, and at the same time, plastic waste continues to block drainages, flood communities, and pollute our environment.
We believe waste can do more than damage it can rebuild futures.
At Az Innovations Venture limited, we collect recyclable waste and transform it into educational access for children. Through our “Trash-for-Education” initiative, communities are empowered to turn their waste into tuition, books, uniforms, and hope.
Your waste can send a child to school.

It’s a simple trade trash for tools that help children stay in school and succeed.This project not only reduces environmental waste but also empowers communities to invest in their children’s future, one bottle at a time.

We believe that plastic waste shouldn't end up polluting our streets, gutters, or waterways it should be part of the solution. That’s why we’re building scalable recycling systems that are accessible and impactful at the community level. Through this initiative, we promote responsible waste disposal while recovering valuable resources that would otherwise be lost. Our goal is not just to recycle, but to create a circular system that benefits both the environment and the people living in it. From awareness to action, we’re helping communities turn waste into a sustainable future.
We don’t just act we educate. Through our public awareness campaigns, we engage directly with communities to raise understanding around environmental sustainability and the power of inclusive education. From school visits to local outreach programs, we spark conversations that inspire action. Our goal is to help people see that protecting the environment and ensuring every child has access to learning are not separate issues they go hand in hand. When people are informed, empowered, and involved, change becomes possible and lasting.
