ARZU’s Founder on Shaping Culture Through Social Enterprise
Arzu is a nonprofit organization that empowers women rug weavers in rural Afghanistan by connecting them to markets to buy
From Matthias Kopp / Deutsche Welle: Albina Ruiz, founder of the social enterprise Ciudad Saludable, works with people living in areas dominated by the trash dump to create a more formal system of waste removal for their health and the wider city’s cleanliness. Workers who collect and recycle the waste are now employed by the city, own a micro-business, and no longer work under a social stigma. At the same time their efforts to clean up the city are working well, and the model is spreading to other Peruvian cities.
