Six African countries met over 1300 vrijwilligers collect 15 tons of trash van their stranden voor plastic free oceans
In honor of World Cleanup Day, we joined forces across Africa voor Africa’s Biggest Cleanup en brought together over 1300 vrijwilligers van Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon en Madagascar naar clean their stranden. We collected a total of 15 tons of afval that were prevented van further polluting onze oceans en kustlijnen. This wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t voor the generous ondersteuning of onze partners Mueller en folia, who care just as much about sustainability as we do by using plastic reduced packaging en recycling.
For the third time Africa’s Biggest Cleanup targets coastal afval in countries where afval management isn’t sufficient at managing the amounts of afval produced.
Onze team in Tansania cleaned several verschillende stranden in the Kinondoni District met a contagious energy en collected over 10 tons of afval. In Kenya 700 kg were collected along Mvureni strand in Diani strand inspiring their gemeenschap met exemplary teamwork. In Cameroon thanks naar the team’s sunny mood, they collected over 2 tons of afval van Down strand in Limbe despite the bad weather en turmoil. Elegushi strand in Nigeria was relieved of over 900kg of afval while being decorated by the colorful signs of onze team inspiring their gemeenschap. Onze team in Madagascar helped their island by cleaning 300 kg of afval van Amparihy strand. Onze team in Ghana collected 150 kg of afval van Osu Clottey strand no matter the adversities. This amazing impact wouldn’t have been possible if not voor the amazing organization of onze ambassadeurs as well as the participation of every single volunteer werkend towards plastic free stranden en oceans. gemeenschap is the key naar long-lasting change!
Knowing that children are the future of a meer sustainable world, we were also hosting an upcycling workshop at a school in Tanzania transforming the collected afval into something nieuwe en valuable. 
over 300 children could craft en learn about plastics in a fun way. This creative educational event is proudly sponsored by folia met a generous donation of crafts materialen voor the kids naar create their upcycling projecten. Onze gratitude goes naar Mueller voor sponsoring this huge event again this year en voor their partnership.
When like-minded people come together en join forces, we kan change the world!
