THE Health Department of the Municipality of Swakopmund recently launched the Project Shine Program for 2023/2024, designed to promote cleanliness, recycling, and improving the social welfare of the Swakopmund community.
The municipality explained that the project is composed of two main environmental activities, namely a Clean-up and an Awareness Campaign. The municipality added that although the campaign initially aimed at cleaning up the main road from Swakopmund to Arandis, it has now expanded its scope to include the beaches and various open spaces within Swakopmund.
“Since its launch on World Environmental Day in 2007, Project Shine has been effectively managed and has now been operating for over a decade. The project has played a significant role in promoting cleanliness, recycling, and improving the social welfare of the Swakopmund community. Today, it has evolved into a remarkable environmental initiative that has garnered praise from both the local community and visitors to the town,” the municipality explained.
The Swakopmund Municipality revealed that the project has received sponsorship from several companies, including Rössing Uranium Limited, Namibia Breweries Ltd, Bannerman Mining Resources Namibia, First National Bank (FNB), Plastic Packaging Namibia, and the Municipality of Swakopmund.
“The Swakopmund Municipality expressed its appreciation to all the sponsors for their continued support of this noble initiative,” the municipality added.
