Embracing peace and unity among the Youth, Markaz Al Salam, an organization operating in Juba in collaboration with the youth union and other partners has launched cleaning campaign in the Gudele Residential Area to improve garbage threat along roadsides.<\/p>\n

Speaking to this outlet, Vicky Imoyo, project officer for Markas Salam said the cleaning campaign was organized in completion of International Youth Day celebration which was celebrated on 12th this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely believe that it’s not only an organization that came up with that. You know this is all by the completion of the National Youth Day, and you know it was 12th, of this month, meaning the entire month is all for the celebration of International Youth Day\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

The campaign brought together different organizations, including Shabab Ni Shabab, Markaz al Salam, YWCA, and YMCA, in addition to partners like the donors over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had also Norwegian People’s Aid, and also Youth association, we thought of making the cleaning activity because we want to show people that this country is for everyone\u201d Imoya added.<\/p>\n

According to Imoya, the hygiene of the country is everyone’s role, emphasizing that when someone falls sick, it’s not only one person\u2019s sickness but for the entire country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just showing the government or the people that we, the youth and everyone in this country have a role to play\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She emphasized the organizations picked Gudele two roadside because it\u2019s a big market compared to compare also the other markets in Gudele.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is actually having that’s where the dirtiest town that side\u201d Imoya stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we did the cleaning there, the management is really very poor. If you look at the market, people sell things in the rubbish, selling near garbage\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

She underscored the need for polythene bags in order to ease the collection of the garbage along the roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday it was a hard time for this people who are using trucks, there are really down. I think the rubbish was in a polythene bags\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Juba, the capital of South Sudan, is grappling with a waste management crisis that has profound implications for the health, environment, and quality of life of its residents.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s rapid growth and urbanisation have outpaced its waste management infrastructure, leaving one- to two-thirds of solid waste uncollected.<\/p>\n

Improper disposal methods, such as open burning and illegal dumping along roads, rivers, and in uncontrolled landfills are common.<\/p>\n
