Salisu, Kaltumi and Chiroma, all with a background in the Sciences were serving corp members in Nigeria’s rural area in Jigawa State. They were heavily worried on increasing number of young girls dropping out of school due to poverty. They carried out community development projects to test the idea of wastes to wealth conversion and see if they can exchange wastes collected from households for some income to support their girls go back to school, this was very successful. Therefore, after the service year, they decided to start a social enterprise in Nigeria’s second largest city, Kano, to exchange households wastes for cash, to support the education of more than 500, 000 girls in northern Nigeria.
