Disposable diaper waste is increasingly polluting communities, waterways, and ecosystems in Tanzania. This project will establish 15 collection points, train 60 youth environmental champions, reach 2,500 community members, and safely collect 20 tons of diaper waste. By promoting community-led waste management, we will reduce pollution and protect local ecosystems.
Disposable diaper waste is becoming a growing environmental problem in Moshi Municipality, Tanzania. Used diapers are often dumped in open spaces, drainage channels, and waterways due to limited waste management options and low public awareness. During heavy rains, this waste is washed into rivers and ecosystems, causing pollution and environmental damage. The project will benefit 2,500 community members while helping protect local ecosystems from waste pollution.
This project will establish 15 diaper waste collection points, train 60 youth environmental champions, and conduct 25 community awareness sessions reaching at least 2,500 people. Over 12 months, the initiative will collect and safely manage at least 20 tons of diaper waste, reducing pollution, protecting ecosystems, and promoting community-led environmental stewardship.
Over the long term, this project will reduce diaper waste pollution, improve community waste management, and protect local ecosystems. By establishing a sustainable collection system and training 60 youth environmental champions, the initiative will create a model that can be replicated across Tanzania. It will also lay the foundation for future diaper recycling and resource recovery initiatives, turning waste into environmental and economic opportunities.
