In this thriving future, Uganda's cities are vibrant and clean, bustling with economic activity driven by empowered youth and women who have transformed waste into wealth. The streets of Lira, Gulu, and Soroti are no longer burdened by unmanaged waste; instead, they are examples of sustainable urban environments. Youth are gainfully employed, having turned waste management into a respected and profitable sector, displaying innovation and entrepreneurship. Women, once marginalised, now lead enterprises, contributing significantly to their communities' economic and social fabric. The success of these efforts is evident in the proud faces of young professionals who are not only employed but are also champions of environmental stewardship, inspiring others to join the movement. The model of waste recycling and management has become a blueprint for other cities, showcasing a scalable and sustainable solution that continues to expand its impact across the nation, fostering inclusive growth and environmental sustainability.
