Stichting Projecten Zuid-Afrika

Khwela Community Based Organisation is concerned about the environmental challenges faced by the communities of Khayelitsha Township (Cape Town) and decided to launch an environmental awareness campaign at the community level – a group of concerned volunteers that are committed to raising awareness about environmental issues and to reducing environmental impact.

Since Khayelitsha is big and divided into sections, the programme will start with 10 volunteers, one volunteer from each section who will be the leader in his/her specific section and have a sub-group of volunteers under him/her. Each volunteer will serve in the steering committee of the environmental club. This club will be a platform to share ideas and challenges related to the environment, and discuss approached to tackle them, in close collaboration with the department of environmental affairs and solid waste management.
