Overview
The primary goal of this project is to continue to create awareness and a sustained momentum in the process of eliminating plastic waste in the waterways of the rural communities of Okrika. A pilot project funded by the LR Foundation, was recently concluded and showed a lot of progress in many ways. Due to the success of the project and the persistence of the problem in many communities, it is planned to continue the project to extend it to include additional communities, additional at-risk youth and to mentor the youth to increase their knowledge and participation in a plastic economy
