I would like to share a non-governmental organization in Turkey, which has been a source of inspiration for me. LHSV was founded by doctors, to provide free health services to the underprivileged. The interesting part is how they do it:

Since 11 years, LHSV collects waste paper, soda cans, plastic bags and used printer cartridges. [We] collect approximately 100 tons of waste and waste paper per month. The revenue of this activity is used in financing our medical services.

They have a recycling facility in which they recycle paper, plastic and metals to generate income for their medical operations. I think it’s a briliant idea. Here is the Sabanci University leverage to it: The university sells its waste to LHSV, even though they don’t make the best offer, and transfers this revenue to its scholarship fund. In the end, everyone wins!
