“Tak Kenal, Maka Tak Cinta. The Malay idiom Tak kenal, maka tak cinta translates to ‘We cannot love what we do not know’,” said Amin. “I try to embody this into my work as much as possible. We cannot move forward with solving e-waste issues without being familiar with the negative effects of our actions on our planet or being appreciative of our natural environments.”
Empowering youths for change
YEAP believes in the power of youth to drive meaningful change. By harnessing their energy and passion, this program aims to create a ripple effect that spreads awareness about e-waste challenges and encourages sustainable practices.
We encourage youth between 15 and 35 to join this movement. By coming together, we can reshape the way we interact with technology, reduce e-waste, and create a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
