Aya Fernandez

She's the founder of the sustainable social enterprise called Project Lily, which, according to one of her interviews, aims to "employ and empower persons with disabilities (PWDs) to manufacture environmentally-friendly charcoal made from water hyacinth, coconut husk, and other agricultural waste". This thesis-slash-passion project, which she funded using her savings, eventually turned into a full-blown social enterprise and got her nominated as one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Youth Leaders in 2016 and of the youngest recipients of Go Negosyo's 2018 Inspiring Women Awardees.
