Windhoek Residents Unite for Clean-Up Initiative at Okapale in Goreangab. In a collective effort to promote cleaner communities and environmental sustainability, the City of Windhoek partnered with the Tukwatha Youth Organization for a clean-up initiative at Okapale in Goreangab. The event, aimed at restoring Windhoek’s status as one of Africa’s cleanest cities, brought together community members, youth volunteers, and key stakeholders.
The initiative saw a strong turnout, particularly from young people, highlighting the growing awareness of environmental responsibility. The City of Windhoek provided cleaning materials, gloves, and plastic bags, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and community-led solutions.
Beyond the physical clean-up, the event also raised awareness about the Katutura Waste Buy-Back Centre, where residents can exchange recyclable materials for cash. This aligns with broader efforts to promote waste management, recycling, and environmental conservation across Windhoek.
Speaking at the event, officials emphasized the importance of community-driven initiatives in maintaining a clean and sustainable city. They encouraged ongoing participation and the adoption of eco-friendly practices to ensure long-term environmental benefits.
