WormingUp is an accredited social enterprise based in Kuching, Sarawak, founded in 2015. Our mission is to tackle organic waste disposal and reduce landfilling through insect farming, specifically the black soldier fly. We are a dedicated group of Borneo youths from diverse backgrounds, including Chinese, Malay, and Dayak, all under the age of 30, who are passionate about environmental conservation.

As undergraduates, we began collaborating with local organizations to run environmental programs and workshops. Now, four years after graduating, we remain fully committed to our cause. Our company has two primary objectives.

Firstly, we aim to continue our organic waste reduction routine by harnessing the appetites of the black soldier fly maggots, which play a crucial role in combating food waste. Secondly, we strive to sustain and support our talented B40 community by providing employment opportunities. To achieve this, we operate a monthly expense of approximately RM10,000 for five employees.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing MCO (Movement Control Order), we are determined to carry out our back-end organic waste reduction operations and are seeking support through our first-ever fundraising event. Our core team consists of highly qualified individuals specializing in fields such as resource chemistry, entomology, linguistics, wood science, and more. Additionally, we have received recognition and awards for our environmental initiatives, including being named one of the Top 25 for Social Entrepreneurship in Malaysia and being accredited as a Social Enterprise by the Malaysian government.

Together, we have made a significant impact, engaging over 2962 students, involving 75 volunteers in awareness events, educating 420 hawkers from markets, and providing 200 meals to the Kuching Urban Poor Society.
