This project is focused on creating goalpost nets using water sachets. The project is dedicated to advocating for households and schools to obtain garbage collection bins and to encourage consistent waste collection at the source. Schools and households receive awareness on the importance of sorting water sachets. These sachets will then be gathered and individuals, including young people and women, are trained to weave them into goal nets. The nets are then given to the community for utilization on soccer fields. Through collaboration with Assembly Members, youth groups, Municipal and Metropolitan Assemblies, and other identified CSOs in the communities, clean-up activities are carried out in all targeted communities once a month.
The program increases the access to hand washing facilities at schools and uses football sessions to educate children about the importance of proper handwashing and the critical times to wash hands.
