World Cleanup Day is a global event that takes place on the third Saturday of September every year. Its main objective is to encourage the cleaning up of polluted areas, such as beaches, rivers, parks and streets, through the voluntary involvement of people all over the world.
World Cleanup Day is an initiative that aims to raise awareness of the problems of pollution and improper disposal of solid waste. During this day, volunteers get together to collect garbage and waste, promoting environmental conservation and cleaning up local communities, in this sense, several countries around the world such as Mozambique join the cause.
With this date comes the need for various environmental organizations and the public and private sectors to join in this cause, so AMOR joined its partners, such as Let’s Do It, CAM, Nós pra Nós, CMB and others, for a clean-up day that took place at three points, namely Praia dos Veleiros, Praia do Estoril and the Macuti neighbourhood.
The AMOR team and partners were simultaneously present at three different points: Praia dos Veleiros, Praia do Estoril and the Macuti neighborhood, represented by their employees.
At all three points, the activities took place according to the same schedule, starting at 06:30 and ending at 11:00.
At Veleiros beach, the meeting point was Samora Moisés Machel square;
At Estoril beach, the meeting point was the chapas terminal stop in front of the Dom Carlos hotel; and;
In the Macuti neighborhood, the meeting point was the Macuti market.
