About Betty

Growing up in severe poverty and environmental degradation, Betty and her unemployed mother depended on collecting and selling plastic bottles for survival. Despite these challenges, Betty seized the opportunity to attend a technical institute, where she discovered her talent and passion for tailoring and fashion.

Transition into Entrepreneurship

Betty’s journey into entrepreneurship was driven by her desire for change and empowerment. Despite financial barriers, Betty pursued her dreams by attending a technical institute and developing the skills needed to start her own business. Inspired by her experiences, she co-founded Edu-Plastics to address plastic pollution and empower women in marginalized communities. Leading Edu-Plastics enables her to foster sustainability, gender empowerment, and social responsibility. For Betty, entrepreneurship is about leaving a legacy of positive change.
