Community Engagements
Community Engagement
Welcome to the Community Engagement page of Youth Progressive Environmental Solutions (YPES). Here, we are excited to share with you our commitment to engaging with communities in Lilongwe and across Malawi to promote environmental awareness, sustainable practices, and waste management solutions.
Our Community Engagement Initiatives
At YPES, we are actively engaged in a variety of community engagement initiatives, including:
Environmental Workshops and Trainings
We organize workshops and trainings on topics such as waste management, renewable energy, climate change, and biodiversity conservation. These events provide valuable opportunities for community members to learn new skills, share knowledge, and exchange ideas.
Clean-up Campaigns
We conduct clean-up campaigns in collaboration with local communities to remove litter and debris from public spaces, rivers, and natural habitats. These campaigns not only improve the aesthetic appeal of the environment but also raise awareness about the importance of waste management and environmental cleanliness.
Youth and Women Empowerment Programs
We run empowerment programs for youth and women, providing them with opportunities for personal and professional development in the fields of environmental conservation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. These programs aim to build confidence, skills, and resilience among marginalized groups, empowering them to become change-makers in their communities.
Community Outreach Events
We organize community outreach events, such as tree planting days, eco-fairs, and environmental festivals, to engage with community members in a fun and interactive way. These events provide platforms for networking, learning, and celebrating achievements in environmental sustainability.
