In Sarh, Chad, young people and women joined together on September 19th to clean the Outel Bono Provincial Hospital as part of World Cleanup Day.
The Middle Chari Youth Organisation Network and the Chad National Youth Council’s Middle Chari section organised the cleanup effort. The initiative brought together volunteers from various groups including the joint Chad-Central African Republic Force and the Middle Chari Coordination for Development, as well as municipal workers from Sarh.
Organisers intended the event to encourage citizens to take collective responsibility for keeping public spaces clean. Berengué Philippe, the committee president, explained the day was meant to be a citizen-led mobilisation to raise awareness about maintaining a clean environment. Nguendoyom Mbaidene Géraldine, coordinator for development organisations, noted the event demonstrated women’s ability to promote cleanliness and encouraged other women to participate in future cleanups. She also called on authorities to improve waste management systems.
Sarh’s deputy mayor, Djimasra Madjadina, praised the youth’s commitment and stated that city cleanliness begins with individual household efforts. He encouraged families to keep the areas around their homes clean and avoid creating illegal dumps.
