Yesterday we sailed our traditional recycled plastic canoe made by our students in Lamu ⛵️ Such a proud and joyful moment for our students who built it to sail it and spread their message. Thanks to the #ukaid smep program for making this possible @SouthSouthNorth
The New directions for heritage Dhow building in East Africa workshop brought together researchers from Kenyan Universities @DiscoverJKUAT@uonbi and UK @NorthumbriaUni together with key stakeholders from governmental @kmakenya and industrial sectors @secoafrica thanks to @UKaid
Uniting to take urgent legislative action is key to tackling the impacts of #singleuseplastics regionally. Read our blog looking at why it's so important our leaders take action NOW! @FarajaAfricaFdn@EA_Bunge@theflipflopi https://t.co/RdjK85Ww5P
Thankful to @WBTanzania for including young people in important global conversations. Nature based solutions are key to ensuring food security for all Tanzanians. I say, let's live in harmony with nature. 🌱
Very proud of Flipflopi’s @sumarmaliha who was selected to be a member of the East African Your Parliament - MAliha is deeply passionate about the environment and will keep it and the top of the agenda
Let's get behind @theflipflopi's petition and bill pushing for a regional legislative ban on unnecessary single-use plastics such as straws, microbeads within the EAC. 15,000 have already signed. Add your voice here: https://t.co/iW0qn1ZRcC
Thank you @FarajaAfricaFdn and @EA_Bunge for creating spaces for young people to table important conversations and impact real change. This years sitting of Vijana Assembly echoed the urgent need for leaders to unite against #singleuseplastic
Hon. Maliha noted that research shows that 1/5 Nile perch in L. Victoria have injested micro plastics which in turn affects health of people. She suggested that there’s need to harmonize laws in East Africa regarding single use of plastics. #EAYouthParliament
Incredibly proud of you and the work you're doing Maliha! Congratulations for being selected as a member of the East African Communities Youth Parliament! @sumarmaliha
As #CHOGM kicks off in Rwanda, our partners @alnafrica, have been given the opportunity (thanks to @TheICCFGroup) to present our proposed Bill for harmonised plastic legislation in East Africa.
