APRIL 2021 MONTHLY CLEANUP EXERCISE (TARAUNI Market)

The organization through her ambassadors participated in the monthly cleanup exercise for April 2021 in Kano State, Nigeria.

The day fell on the 24th of the monthly being the last Saturday for April 2021 and we had 12 Volunteers from the organization while 5 joined form the community.

Quick Data:

  1. A total of 65 waste bags were collected
  2. Community needs more orientation on importance and need to join the exercise

Recommendation

Evacuation trucks will be needed at site for immediate clearing of waste and to help with gutters with much waste deposit.

The overall goal of the project is to compliment the efforts of the Government in having an improve standard of living for communities in Kano through effectively waste management and ensuring a clean environment. As an organization we come to achieve this through;

  1. Joining and engaging community members in cleaning exercise at selected communities/locations
  2. Sensitizing the public on proper disposal of solid waste, control of wastewater and rainwater
  3. Sensitizing the public on proper hand hygiene and personal hygiene and
  4. By collaborating and partnering with relevant organizations if/when necessary.

 

Beneficiaries

It is expected that the project will in the long-term help change the orientation of individuals in the community towards keeping a clean, safe and healthy environment.

We appreciate the inspection done by the Hon. Commissioner for Environment Kano State Dr. Kabiru Ibrahim Getso, the Permanent secretary and Senior management of REMASAB (Refuse Management and Sanitation Board)

MAMA CONNECT HUB (Designed to be a leading social-economic gathering of youths were issues around development will be discussed and solution analyzed).

Our April 2019 Topic was “Emotional Intelligence. . . The other way of being kind”

Emotional intelligence is the capability of individuals to recognize their own emotions and those of others, discern between different feelings and label them appropriately, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one’s goal(s).

Mr. Ahmed Adekunle (Facilitator) further advised that we consider both ourselves and others while making some decisions. He did this using the table below to analysis situations;
