Banners to Bags Project
We need your support to recycle waste banners to help improve the local environment in Nairobi and its environs, and offer continuous employment to people with epilepsy and their families.
Why recycle waste banners?
The most obvious environmental damage caused by solid waste like banners is aesthetic, i.e. waste that litter public areas is ugly and smelly. A more serious risk is the transfer of pollution to ground water and land as well as the pollution of air from improper burning of waste. Many waste activities generate greenhouse gases; e.g., landfills generate methane and refuse fleets are significant sources of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide and contaminate surface and ground waters.
A damaged local environment will first hit the most vulnerable groups of society, those who lack the resources needed to reduce the negative effects of a degraded environment. In addition, people living under poor circumstances, especially youth and women in urban slums are also directly dependent on their close natural environment for their daily survival.
What will my Banners to Bags sponsorship achieve?
The waste banner recycling project will help improve the local environment in Nairobi and its environs, and offer continuous employment to people with epilepsy and their families. People with epilepsy will be organised into support groups (adults with epilepsy, especially women; parents and carers of people with epilepsy; young adults, mainly youth, who are living with epilepsy) and taken through various skills sets to enable them run the project sustainably after the project term when Shine Epilepsy Support will officially handover the project management to them.
