Perhaps you can transform major challenges into blessings if your name is Blessing!

That was exactly what Blessing, one of the participants at Moat Academy ( https://moatacademy.com ) last concluded coding boot camp did; his desire to solve the waste management challenge with his recently acquired software development skills led him to develop a web application he called Eco Earn.

According to the Environmental Performance Index of 2024, Nigeria was ranked 105th out of 180 countries with a score of 27 out of 100, indicating Nigeria still generates massive amounts of solid waste, with poor collection and management posing immense threats to human and environmental health.

If Eco-Earn is adopted, it will help in the collection and recovery of energy and materials from waste. In turn, it becomes a money-spinner for everyday people; according to the Managing Director of Pioneer Waste Master Limited, about $250 billion is yet to be tapped in Nigeria's waste management sector.

Eco Earn ( https://moatcohorts.com.ng/c29/ecoearn ) is an application that incentivizes the general public to separate and gather their waste in order to be collected by waste agents known as collectors at a price set by the admin of the application. The collectors will in turn sell to the recycling company at a profit margin.

The application has an admin end ( screenshot below) where most activities are managed and reports are generated.

Blessing developed this application from the technologies learned at Moat Academy Coding Bootcamp using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and Javascript/JQuery for the frontend along with PHP OOP for the backend.

Blessing has now joined the development team of one of the nation's commercial banks
