On 7th September 2024, we had a successful clean-up activity at Maktau Shopping Center. We involved over 180 persons, including teachers and students from the following schools: Maktau Secondary, Maktau Primary, Kongoni Primary, Mwema Secondary, and Kombolio Secondary. We had over 30 Maktau community members, LUMO management, Lions Bluff management, Assistant Chief – Maktau, Police officers, KWS officers, and Mwatate sub-county Director of Education – Madam Dorothy – who graced the activity.
We also planted trees at the Maktau police post to mark the activity. We discussed wildlife and environmental conservation, the effects of poaching and logging, and mentioned the upcoming Rhino Project at Oza.
From the litter we collected, we separated plastics that will be ferried for recycling for our “Plastics for Books” project. The proceeds will buy textbooks for the schools that participated in the clean-up.
