WasteAid is an international non-governmental organisation that works in low and middle-income countries to implement environmental and economic empowerment programmes, focusing on support to nascent green businesses and grassroots entrepreneurs. The work improves the livelihoods of some of the poorest and most marginalized, promotes circular economy innovation and contributes to a cleaner and healthier future for all.  WasteAid head office is in the UK but we run projects in Uganda, South Africa, Gambia and India.
