Introduction.
Warri gives not just to it’s residents and the nation so much, but
in return, she’s been neglected and turning into one of the dirtiest cities in
Africa. We generate thousand tonnes of garbage daily, some of which are
irresponsibly dumped on the streets, roads and the limited water drainage
systems. We have turned roads to
dumpsite, and every day the piles keeps increasing, defacing the city,
spreading disease and despair. This is a huge problem, should we wait till we
cannot resolve it, or transfer to the next generation?
We are responsible for this sorry state of our city. We roll down
the windows of our cars and carelessly toss drink cans, food packets,
cigarettes and whatever not, onto the road. We spit and freely eliminate urine
on walls and at all corners.
CleanWarri
wants to put an end to this; together we can protect and make our City,
Beautiful, Clean and Healthy.
About Us.
On the 3rd December 2016, a group of selfless individuals mostly young
and under 40 converged at Afe Studio with one purpose in pursuit –A BETTER
WARRI.
They started out discussing the challenges
that plagues the reputation and progress of Warri and her environs.
After many deliberations, the team christened a project everyone thought
was a priority to the city –
#CLEANWARRI, under the given mandate of “My City,
My Responsibility”. #CleanWarri hopes to achieve its vision by
Educating, Influencing, Beautifying,
Cleaning, make Green, Sustainable and
also to Involve and Collaborate with residents and organisations, and ensure
that Sanitation, Hygiene and Climate standards in Warri aligns with global
standards and practices.
Steered by The New Warri Group, since its creation, this movement has
metamorphosed into an organisation tasked with the responsibility of making and
keeping this city Clean, beautiful, green and healthy with zero waste.
What We Do?
CleanWarri is not just about cleaning up roads,
roundabouts, and streets but about helping to develop and encourage wholelistic
programs and initiatives that will deliver a clean, beautiful and healthy
lifestyle across the city. This will include specific objectives such as
beautification of strategic locations around the city, citywide clean up
operations, develop mini parks, organising waste conferences, helping to reduce
crime, job creation, construction of toilets in schools and communities, better
waste management system and practices and aggressive environmental awareness
and educational campaign and empowering residents with adequate information
about the danger of this challenge and their roles in tackling this epidemic.
