Honorable Mention – 2014 NextBillion Case Writing Competition. The Peruvian NGO Healthy City combats the country’s solid waste problem through three programs: developing comprehensive sanitation projects alongside municipalities, empowering and funding small recycling businesses, and training students in best environmental practices. The case finds the protagonist Albina Ruiz looking for a way to make the organization financially independent, while getting a feel for what her future role in the organization should be. She could take on an administrative role and attend to public relations duties or continue to do what she loves – training recyclers. Students are asked to place themselves in Ruiz’s shoes and devise workable solutions.
