The biggest issue is not only towards the Environment, but a serious threat to public health. Polio is known to be a common sickness around.
Few where looking everywhere. We sat in silence. It was then when we decided to take action.
That is how #projectmakoko was born. No clue about what to do. But, with the aim of marking the community on the map, we were drive on taking a challenge that really excited us. We didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into but didn’t matter at the time. Nor it matter knows.
We started with the management and organization of an event, inviting everyone who could participate. We put in common the main people involved in cleaning the area. The local government, the cleaning administration, and it turned out that they all wanted to solve the problem.
Several companies got involved and the result was our first event, on 21st of September World Celan Up day 2019 mondo4africa lead more than 80 volunteers who did their part in the community of Makoko.
With the help of Wecyclera, Lawma & Yabalcda, we were able to successfully collect 50 tons of Waste! This waste was removed from gutters and in temporary landfills that have been collecting trash for years! .
We want to specially thank all the volunteers who spent a Saturday morning cleaning !! Without your passion and determination we wouldn’t have been able to achieve even a bit of the same!
This wouldn’t have been possible without our partners and sponsors who believe in what we are trying to achieve. .
