Chad is embracing innovative solutions to tackle environmental challenges.
A pilot project in Chad has demonstrated that small changes can significantly reduce litter. The initiative, supported by Concern Chad, involved producing bricks from recycled materials, which will be used for commercial purposes and potentially for infrastructure projects.
Chad’s Innovative Recycling Initiative
This pilot project highlights the potential of community-led recycling efforts. Concern Chad’s Country Director, ClĂ©mence Eberschweiler, emphasizes the positive outcomes achieved through this initiative. The project not only addresses litter but also promotes sustainable practices within the community.
By training local staff and providing marketing support, Concern Chad is empowering local organizations to take charge of their environmental impact. The bricks produced from recycled materials serve as a tangible example of how innovation can lead to practical solutions.
