🌊 Ending October with Impact: Beach Clean-Up at Coco Beach

We concluded the month of October with a beach clean-up initiative promoting environmental sustainability, proper waste management, and the protection of marine ecosystems, with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as a partner in this initiative.

The activity brought together 50 participants from different backgrounds to take collective action towards a cleaner and healthier environment.

Key results from the clean-up:

148 kg of solid waste collected

93 bags of waste gathered

658 waste items recorded, including plastic straws, plastic bottles, glass bottles, toothbrushes, ice cream wrappers, plastic caps, and other waste materials.

Participants included university students from the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), MUHAS, and other institutions, alongside organisations such as MBRC and SWI, as well as students from Academic Achievement International School.

Beyond the waste collected, the initiative highlighted the importance of collective responsibility, environmental awareness, and community participation in addressing marine pollution.

At AfriCraft, we believe that every action counts towards cleaner coastlines, healthier marine ecosystems, and a more sustainable future. Together, we continue to promote responsible waste management and inspire communities, especially young people, to become active environmental champions.

Together, let's keep our beaches clean and protect our oceans. 🌍♻️
