Community Waste Solutions: Fara Kebele
We’re transforming Monopol Mender into a model for a circular village. By working hand-in-hand with our neighbors, we’ve built a system that keeps our community clean and turns waste into a resource.
- Hands-on Sorting: We distribute specialized kits to households so every family can easily separate their PET plastic and organic waste at home.
- Real Results: With 60 collection bins now in place, we track every kilogram of plastic and organic material to measure our impact on the environment.
- Built to Last: We helped the community create their own waste management bylaws, ensuring these good habits continue for years to come.
- Protecting Lake Hawassa: By keeping waste out of our streets and waterways, we are directly working to protect the health of the Lake Hawassa watershed.
