(SLENA, 15th November, 2022).Africell Mobile Telecom last week launched its beach cleaning initiative with a garbage collection machine as part of the telecom’s Corporate Social Responsibility. The theme for the initiative was “Kip Am Klin,” which literally means in English, “keep it clean.” The launching ceremony and the practically demonstration of the beach cleaning exercise was held at Lumley Beach adjacent the under-constructed Africell Mega Building.
In his remarks, Joe Abass Bangura Africell’s Chief Cooperate Affairs Officer pointed out that the mobile telecom seeks to add value to the beautiful nature of the beaches in line with the beach cleaning activities undertaken by notable organizations, citing, the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.
He went on to state that one of the country’s biggest natural resources has to do with the coastlines – which account for beautiful beaches.
Joe Abass Bangura disclosed that human activities such as the littering of garbage etc, do affect the upkeep of the beaches and this is so because most of what is thrown out ends in the beaches.
He said the garbage collection machine would greatly reduce the cost of human labour – as the machine does the work of many within minutes.
The Chief Cooperate Affairs Officer revealed that the telecom has done a lot in the area of its corporate social responsibility with reference to sports, recreation, health and education, amongst others.
