Anaya Kashif's observation during the Covid lockdown inspired her to make a positive change by replacing plastic-wrapped flowers with sustainable and eco-friendly gifts. Her actions served as an inspiration for others to think creatively and make a difference in their own communities.
The Journey
Anaya, inspired by her mother's artistic approach and her love for plants, started sending customised plant gifts to her family members. She created a social media account, gathered 10 initial followers, and asked for their support. Within 6 months, her account gained around 1,000 followers. To make a positive impact during the Covid lockdown, Anaya involved people from disadvantaged backgrounds in her project, providing them with employment. This generated income that allowed her to pay her school fees and become financially independent. Anaya aims to inspire others to join her as ecopreneurs and make a difference in their communities.
Key Learnings
The key learning from this ecopreneurial project was that it can bring positive change to people's lives and inspire young people to become change-makers. Additionally, this project aimed to achieve Sustainable Development Goals; 1) No Poverty & 13) Climate Action.
The Impact
This project introduced ecopreneurship to the society. It was a game changer as it had the potential to be adapted in every field. It could replace plastic-made shields, plastic-wrapped flowers (bouquets), plastic-based gifts and could increase interest in plantation among the young generation. Also, as this project gave opportunities to jobless people, so, in a way, it contributed towards poverty elimination in Pakistan.

By replacing plastic-made... shields, plastic-wrapped flowers, and plastic-based gifts, the project can contribute to reducing plastic waste and fostering environmental sustainability.

To achieve these goals, the project will focus on expanding its reach, collaborating with relevant stakeholders, raising awareness about eco-entrepreneurship, and fostering a supportive ecosystem for sustainable and socially impactful initiatives.
