Environment
Waste Reduction Action Program (WRAP) aims to reduce the volume of solid waste that ends up in landfills and leaks into the natural environment. This program assists partners in setting up a segregation and collection venue in their location as well as establishing a waste recycling system by connecting them with trusted recyclers to handle their waste. Additionally, WRAP promotes responsible waste management in communities through environmental awareness activities.
Nakakatulong ang programa na ito sa mga paaralan at sana nga ito’y magtuloy-tuloy dahil mas nagiging disiplinado ang mga bata lalo na nandito kami sa upland na medyo hindi exposed ang mga bata sa mga ganitong practices pagdating sa pag-sesegregate ng basura.

Medyo nagkaroon po kasi kami ng failure sa pag-execute noon sa pagkakaroon ng waste segregation. Ngayon sa tulong po ng Pioneer Foundation, natulungan at mas natuto pa po kami sa tamang pag-sesegregate ng basura.

Bilang volunteer, ako ay natutuwa at naimbitahan kami upang makatulong. Ito ay napakasarap sa pakiramdam na sa simpleng pamamaraan ay nakatulong ako sa mga kababayan ko. Nagpapasalamat ako sa Pioneer Foundation sa pagtulong nila dito sa amin.
