Educating African schoolchildren about waste recycling

In a concerted move to strengthen commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, Eurocham and Moi Jeu Tri recently joined forces at a ceremony to launch a "S'Investir Durablement Ensemble" project.

The "S'Investir Durablement Ensemble" project aims to strengthen Moi Jeu Tri's actions by broadening the scope of environmental and social impact. This launch ceremony was an opportunity to present the broad outlines of this ambitious project, but also to celebrate the first achievements. 

With this collaboration, 60 schools will be mobilized in 2 new communes in Côte d'Ivoire, new Moi Jeu Tri Clubs will see the light of day and raise awareness among 30,000 pupils and 15,000 households. In addition, 5 social projects will be launched over the next 48 months.

Thanks to you, the Captains, as well as our corporate sponsors and partners, we are reaffirming our commitment to shaping a sustainable future, where waste management and environmental preservation remain major imperatives. 

Moi Jeu Tri teams are mobilized to raise awareness among students about the challenges of bio-waste management. 

We raise awareness and teach students to produce compost and reuse it. Students bring the organic waste they produce in their families to the school. 

This compost is then used to feed the vegetable garden set up in the school and used by the school canteens. 

Today, 15 schools in Togo and Côte d'Ivoire are equipped with composters and biodigesters, and 8,000 pupils have been made aware of the issues involved in recovering bio-waste and producing organic vegetables.

It was at the Ephphata school in Lomé, Togo, that our animators were able to pass on eco-gestures in favor of ocean preservation. In this school, adapted for deaf and hearing-impaired children, we raised awareness in several classes. Thanks to the teachers' use of sign language, our teaching and practices have been adapted for better transmission to the pupils. 

Understanding the birth of the Earth and its oceans, the birth of life and the water cycle are all themes addressed by our Ma Planète Bleue program, through an educational booklet co-created with the Fondation de la Mer. The aim of the program is to mobilize all young citizens around the ecological issues linked to the protection of marine ecosystems.

This year in Togo, we aim to raise awareness of the Ma Planète Bleue program among pupils in some 50 schools in Lomé and Togoville.

It's back-to-school time in Togo and Côte d'Ivoire!
Our awareness campaigns are back on track so that all network member schools can once again be mobilized around eco-gestures.

Dear Captains,
Fresh news from Côte d'Ivoire. We've just signed a new partner commune with the town of Grand Bassam!
30 new schools in the pipeline and 15,000 pupils involved on sorting in the coming months!
We'll let you enjoy with Alpha Blondy! "I am on my way to Grand Bassam...."

Cher.es Captains ! 
We're in Port Bouët, a commune of Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire where we've raised awareness and involved over 15,000 schoolchildren in the practice of sorting and recycling household waste.
Port Bouët is on the edge of the Ebrié Lagoon and at the gateway to the Ocean (see video "Ma Lagune"). Too much waste is dumped there every day: changing behavior is all the more urgent. 
Thanks to you dear.e Captain, we're going to accelerate and try to double the number of pupils made aware by 2023-2024.
Thank you for your support. We'll be taking you to another land very soon!
