Students at Bright Boma Mixed Day and Boarding School in South Sudan have taken part in a major environmental awareness and recycling campaign launched by Jama Tech Ltd under its “Project Green Loop” initiative.
The campaign brought together members of the school’s Environmental Club and Health Club for a day of climate awareness activities, waste management training, and a large-scale clean-up exercise aimed at promoting responsible environmental practices among young people.
Organizers said the initiative seeks to address growing concerns over poor waste disposal, plastic pollution, and the harmful effects of open garbage burning in communities across South Sudan.
During the awareness sessions, students and teachers engaged in discussions about climate change, environmental pollution, and the importance of adopting sustainable waste management solutions through recycling and circular economy practices.
Participants were encouraged to take active roles in protecting the environment by reducing plastic waste and promoting cleaner surroundings within their schools and neighbourhoods.
The campaign later transitioned into a school-wide Sorting and Waste Cleansing exercise led by student club members with support from Jama Tech staff and school leadership.
Students, equipped with gloves, collection bags, and other protective materials provided by the company, moved around the school compound collecting and sorting plastic waste from general garbage.
The clean-up exercise was joined by Isaac Kendi John alongside Emma Kwaje, who worked with students during the environmental activity aimed at encouraging practical community action on climate issues.
As part of the initiative, Jama Tech installed a customized wire-mesh recycling dustbin within the school compound to support long-term plastic waste collection and recycling efforts managed by the school’s Environmental and Health Clubs.
According to the company, plastic materials collected from the school will be transported to the Jama Tech recycling depot where they will be transformed into reusable products such as school desks and eco-friendly boards.
Jama Tech said the campaign forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen plastic and electronic waste management systems across South Sudan through innovation, recycling, and community engagement.
The company also acknowledged the support of Orange Corners South Sudan and the Kingdom of the Netherlands for supporting its environmental innovation programs through a six-month incubation and business development initiative.
Jama Tech says it aims to help reduce South Sudan’s waste problem by up to 70 percent by the year 2030 through sustainable recycling and upcycling projects targeting schools and local communities.
Teachers, students, and environmental advocates who attended the campaign praised the initiative for empowering young people to become champions of environmental protection and climate action.
The event concluded with a renewed call for communities to adopt sustainable waste management practices under the campaign slogan: “Rethink the Waste, Root the Future: Upcycle Plastic, Plant a Tree.”
