Our project focuses on creating a waste regeneration system that integrates blockchain technology to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable finance practices with waste pickers at the heart of it all. We invite you to support our initiative to make a positive impact on both the environment and local communities.\n\nIntroduction:\nOur project aims to establish a Regenerative Finance local node in Tanzania, with a focus on waste regeneration and blockchain integration. By combining innovative waste management strategies with the transparency and security of blockchain technology, we intend to contribute to a more sustainable and regenerative future.\n\nProblem Statement:\nTanzania, like many other regions, faces significant challenges related to waste management and environmental degradation. Improper disposal of waste contributes to pollution, health hazards, and ecological damage. Waste pickers are the ones that do all the off-setting however face many challenges such as lack of resources, negative societal stigma, and most importantly exploitation in pay where they receive a mere $0.1 per kilogram of waste! Additionally, the lack of transparent financial systems often hinders sustainable development efforts. Our project addresses these issues by creating a waste regeneration system that not only reduces waste but also provides economic incentives through blockchain-powered finance mechanisms.\n\nProject Solution:\nOur project's core solution involves the establishment of a waste regeneration system that transforms waste materials into valuable resources. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Blockchain, dmrv and efficient recycling processes, we aim to minimize waste accumulation and its negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, we integrate blockchain technology to ensure transparent tracking of waste transformation processes and provide financial rewards to participants who contribute to the system.\n\nProject Goals:\n- Environmental Regeneration: Reduce waste accumulation, minimize pollution, and promote sustainable resource management.\n- Blockchain Integration & Onboarding to Web3: Implement a secure and transparent blockchain system to track waste regeneration processes, decentralized storage onboard waste pickers to web3 directly and incentivize participants.\n- Community Engagement: Raise awareness about waste-related issues and involve local communities in waste management and regeneration efforts as well as how they can benefit from sustainable practices in the form of carbon credits, tokenizing of Real world Assets and much more.\n\n\nWe are looking to revive the machinery at our incubated site to increase capacity and production of these eco-products such as eco-spare parts for Rickcshaws, eco-tiles and eco-bricks which will help add additionality to our project to enable it to receive quality carbon credits which will eventually raise the basic income of our waste pickers from a mere 0.1$ per kilogram of plastic waste.\n\nExamples of our eco products include eco-spare parts for Rickshaws, eco-tiles and eco-bricks which are massively needed to support local Tanzanians and their small businesses. \n\n\n\nThe Team:\n\nOur team consists of dedicated individuals with diverse expertise:\n- David Machuche from Chatafisha, Project Lead: A professional with deep knowledge of local ecological challenges, Regenerative Finance, financial inclusion and Web3 for real world use cases. \n- Victor Muhagachi from Chatafisha, Strategy and Web3 for local communities: An experienced strategy designer, blockchain developer specializing in onboarding local communities to Web3 in broken down Swahili terminologies.\n- Eng. Allen from Zaidi Recyclers Kimambo, Environmental Scientist: A waste management expert with over 10 years experience and a background in sustainable development.\n- Teresia Mhaiki Community Outreach Coordinator: A communication specialist focusing on community engagement, specifically in environment and sustainability.\n\nBudget:\n- Technology Development: $10,000 for decentralized app that will contain sub wallets for waste pickers, track credit scores with blockchain integration.\n- Infrastructure & Plant: $20,000 for setting up waste regeneration facilities and community engagement centers.\n- Logistics for waste: $2,000 for reallocating the waste from collection points to recyclers.\n- Awareness Campaign & Events: $2,000 for educational workshops, awareness programs, and community training.\n\nCall to Action:\nWe invite you to contribute to our mission of creating a more regenerative and sustainable future in Tanzania. By supporting our project, you will play a crucial role in addressing waste management challenges, promoting eco-friendly practices, and fostering transparent financial systems. Your donation will have a lasting positive impact on the environment, local communities, and the overall well-being of the region. Together, we can drive meaningful change and lead the way towards a more sustainable and prosperous Tanzania!\n\nOur address is 0x037Eb04AD9DDFf984F44Ce5941D14b8Ea3781459\n\nImage link for the process on how it will work: https://postimg.cc/KRwMn9Sx", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "chatafisha", "projectTwitter": "ReFiTanzania"}, "recipient": "0x037Eb04AD9DDFf984F44Ce5941D14b8Ea3781459"}}
