Recycle and Make Money
José Adolfo Quisocala Condori looks like
a normal teenager. But he’s invented an
incredible idea to change the lives of his friends and thousands
of other young children in Peru. It all started when
5
José was seven years old. He noticed that his friends were
spending their money on sweets and toys instead of saving it for
more important things. His goal was to help his friends save
money and preserve the environment at the same time by
creating an environmental bank. To join, children must bring five
kilograms
10
of paper or plastic to recycle. They also have to
promise to bring
at least one kilogram of material every month.
So, does the bank earn money? Well, José is not only an
15
intelligent student, he’s also a very good businessman. He sells
paper to recycling companies for a high price, and the money
goes straight into students’ bank accounts.
José’s bank started with some students in his class in the city of
Arequipa. That was in 2012. Now, the bank has got over 2,000
20
customers aged 10-18, and not all of them go to José’s school.
So far, students from ten schools have joined the bank, and
soon, the bank will open its doors to students from all over Peru.
The bank has also got a shop. Here, schoolchildren who haven’t
got money can buy food so they don’t miss their breakfasts.
25
Children don’t have to borrow money from the bank to pay for
their breakfast. Instead, they pay the bank with material for
recycling.
Starting the bank wasn’t easy for José. At first, he was told that
a seven year old couldn’t do that project, and his friends laughed
30
at him. However, his head teacher and a teaching assistant
believed the idea could work and supported him. Now, it’s a
different story. José has recently won the Children’s Climate
Prize. He has received over €6,000 for his hard work to preserve
the environment and teach children how to use money. He has
35
appeared in documentaries about young entrepreneurs and was
invited to events around the world. And that’s not all. Big banks
like Peru’s Banco de la Nación want to create projects together
with the young banker.
