Working worms
|
The working worms enterprise was set up where student interns and community members were combined into a business enterprise, which focuses on recycling education. This enterprise was to generate income by selling worm farms; compost and worm-tea. The enterprise started by teaching community groups in the township how to use worm farms to supplement their food garden projects. The enterprise mainly focused on educating children on worm farms to encourage them to recycle.

This was the first business management and financial enterprise that was created by the Trust. A student was given the opportunity to assist all the small environmental entities to do their financials and financial corporate governance issues. BAS was established and was actively involved in assisting all the environmental projects and getting the various enterprises and co operatives registered and set up, all the way to generating invoices and EFT batches.
