Innovate with the Waste project is a workshop aimed to educate and show people how to create innovative products from waste and earn from it, thereby creating jobs in the process.
One of the easiest ways to help the environment is to focus on what kinds of plastic we use, how we use them, and how we clean up the plastic already polluting the earth. Innovate with Waste is a Pan-African movement that encourages people to reuse, recycle and reduce, helping them to become part of the solution. Urban areas account for 75% of the world’s natural resource consumption and produce 50% of global waste. In most countries, especially low- and middle-income nations, the waste management systems currently used to collect, process and recycle this waste are insufficient and cannot meet demand.

The Clean-up Project aims to address the detrimental impacts of poorly managed waste on human and animal health, economic development, and social well-being. By organizing community members to clean up their environment, including public waste sites and dirty gutters, the project improves sanitation and reduces the breeding sites of disease vectors. By tackling the prevalence of communicable diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and malaria, among others, the project promotes a healthier and cleaner environment for all.

Earn from Waste is a project aimed at educating community members in Africa on the opportunities to earn income through waste recycling. With Africa producing around 70 million tons of waste annually, projected to exceed 160 million tons by 2025, effective waste management is crucial. By raising awareness about the potential for recycling and reusing waste to create new products, the project empowers individuals to participate in waste collection, sorting, and processing activities. By harnessing the economic potential of recycling, Earn from Waste promotes sustainable practices, reduces pollution, and contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment in African cities.

“No to Open Defecation” is a campaign that aims to eradicate the practice of defecating in open spaces. It emphasizes the importance of proper sanitation and hygiene practices for public health and environmental sustainability. The campaign focuses on raising awareness about the negative consequences of open defecation, such as the spread of diseases and contamination of water sources. It promotes safe and hygienic toilet facilities and encourages communities to adopt sustainable sanitation practices, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment.
