We are transforming household waste into a valuable resource for our community. With an average household waste generation rate of 1.50 kg per day, we are implementing source segregation and windrow composting to manage this volume effectively. By capturing 73.9% of our local waste, which is organic, we are producing nutrient-rich soil vitalizers for local urban agriculture. This initiative is supported by the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to build a cleaner, circular future for Hawassa.
GreenBox is transforming organic waste in Monopol Mender into nutrient-rich compost, directly protecting the beauty and health of Lake Hawassa. By replacing traditional disposal with controlled windrow composting, we convert 73.9% of our local waste stream into a valuable resource for urban agriculture.
Supported by the GEF SGP and UNDP, this circular initiative ensures a cleaner environment and a more sustainable future for our community.
