Waste Pickers Association Of Nigeria (WAPAN), in collaboration with United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) recently announced the introduction of the #GreenRisingProject in commemoration of World Cleanup Day 2024.
According to WAPAN, the #GreenRisingProject mobilised over 600 youths across Lagos, Kano and Abuja for a week-long campaign of extensive waste collection, recovery, and recycling.
These addresses critical issues like child labour in waste picking, providing education and protection for the affected children. Our innovative use of technology to track waste collection and secure more benefits for beneficiaries will unveil new and original technologies that Nigeria’s waste management has never experienced.
