What we do

WEPCO manages a mixture of day-to-day activities and special programmes. While we are routinely involved in the management and recycling of household waste in Lalitpur, we have great expertise in developing education programmes, mobilizing communities, demonstrating technologies and empowering women to make changes in their lives and environments.

Our vision and mission are as follows:

Vision

There is good money in waste, from recycling paper and plastics, to making cooking gas from kitchen waste. Everybody in Kathmandu can save money and keep their environment cleaner. But it takes education.

WEPCO's mission is to help people do just that through community based education with enthusiasm.
