With a $15,000 goal, your support can turn community action into lasting environmental protection.

Challenge

In Goma, waste left in streets and drainage channels can quickly become a community problem, especially during heavy rain. Plastic and other waste pollute public spaces, obstruct water flow, and threaten a cleaner, healthier environment. At the same time, misinformation can make it harder for residents to recognize how everyday choices affect the ecosystem. Families should not have to accept a dirty and unsafe neighborhood as normal.

Solution

Over the next 12 months, this project will support community-led cleanup activities every weekend in targeted areas of Goma, combined with practical environmental education. Residents will learn how waste affects drainage, public health, and the local environment, while volunteers take direct action to clean streets and drainage channels. A $15,000 project budget will help provide cleanup materials, community outreach, education, coordination, and transportation.

Long-Term Impact

Cleaner streets are only the beginning. By supporting regular environmental cleanups and practical awareness in Goma, the project will help communities build habits that can continue beyond the campaign period. Residents can become active stewards of their neighborhoods, reduce careless waste disposal, protect drainage channels, and share accurate environmental information with others. Over time, repeated community action can strengthen local environmental responsibility and contribute to a heal
