Well-deserved: Ruhaya (centre, back row) with Azman (left) and Walker (right) posing with the awardees at the Finco Annual Awards Ceremony 2023.
Repurposing used oil from their canteen operator and extended community to create products such as soaps and candles was how Team Herofinity from SK Parit Raja, Johor, who went up against seven teams from Egypt, England and Scotland, earned the prestigious “Best Product” title during their social enterprise pitch at the International Dragons’ Den recently.
Organised by the Financial Industry Collective Outreach (Finco) in partnership with the United Kingdom-based Social Enterprise Academy (SEA), the competition, held on Nov 16, saw Team Herofinity giving a presentation titled “Soaps and Bubbles for a Clogged Sink and Drain” as part of the last leg of their 2022 “Good SENS” journey.
