After the floods, our rivers are drowning in plastic and waste, putting our health and future at risk. It's time for urgent action—proper waste management, recycling, and community responsibility can save our waterways and prevent further disaster.

Through the 'Intersectional Green Futures: Advancing Climate Justice for All' project, supported by IM Swedish Development Partner, the Zero Waste at Schools (ZWAS) program has reached 203 students across five community schools in the Kapilvastu, Salyan, and Dang districts of Nepal. Zero Waste at Schools aims to promote and implement sustainable waste management practices in schools, extend this knowledge to homes and the broader community, and increase overall sustainable practices related to climate action. ZWAS focuses on capacity building in schools by providing training programs, workshops, and resources to educators and students. The program has been introduced in five schools, integrating seven modules with hands-on lessons on waste management, waste segregation, the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), composting, the impacts of open-air waste burning, e-waste management, and the relationship between waste management and climate change. As a result, students and educators gain a better understanding of sustainable waste management practices, enabling them to incorporate these principles into their daily lives. This empowers children to become responsible citizens of tomorrow. #cleanupnepal #cleanup #ZWAS #zerowasteatschools

CLEAN UP NEPAL handed over a bailing machine to Dil Bahadur Sarki, the owner of the Rapti Kawad Collection Centre in Gorahi Sub-Metropolitan, Ward No. 16, Karautedanda. This bailing machine is designed to compress cardboard and plastic items. Previously, plastic bottles would accumulate in large quantities, and due to the lack of compression techniques, Mr. Sarki faced significant challenges in transporting them. However, with the introduction of this machine, the volume of plastic waste can now be reduced by up to one-third, making transportation much more efficient and allowing for larger quantities to be moved at once. This initiative was a collaborative effort between Gorahi Sub-Metropolitan, the Federal Kamalari Development Forum, and CLEAN UP NEPAL, with support from IM Swedish Development Partner. By providing essential tools like the bailing machine, the project aims to improve waste management and recycling efficiency, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable community. #cleanupnepal #cleanup #bailingmachine

Through the #PlasticFreeRivers campaign, our RIVER+ research found that waste segregation is driven by health benefits, income opportunities, easier recycling, and environmental protection. With Biocomp Nepal, People in Need Nepal, and CLEAN UP NEPAL, we're working to reduce plastic pollution and protect our rivers. #rivercampaign #cleanrivers
