Bilikiss founded Wecyclers, a for-profit social enterprise that promotes environmental sustainability, social welfare, and community health by utilizing low-cost cargo bicycles called “wecycles” to provide convenient recycling services to households in densely populated low-income neighborhoods. Wecyclers motivates families to recycle through an SMS-based incentive program that rewards them with points for consistent recycling that can be converted to cell phone minutes, basic food items, and household goods. Wecyclers has won several awards including the 2019 King Baudouin Foundation’s Africa Development Prize.
