Accra, June 6, GNA – Groupe Ndoum (GN), a Ghanaian-American multinational family holding business, has marked the 2025 World Environment Day with the donation of a plastic waste receptacle and sanitary equipment to the PRESEC Staff Cluster of Schools at Madina in Accra.
The items include wheelbarrows, cutlasses, rakes, brooms, and sanitation gloves to support the school’s environmental sanitation efforts.
The initiative forms part of the Groupe’s green revolution, which aimed at promoting environmental sanitation and creating awareness on plastic recycling among the pupils.
As part of the celebration, GN Ghana also undertook on a clean-up exercise and environmental awareness campaign with the pupils.
Leading the team, Dr Nana Kweku Nduom, the President of Groupe Nduom Ghana, engaged the pupils on the need to recycle plastics and keep their environment clean.
He encouraged them to be ambassadors of cleanliness in their communities and presented monetary gifts to those who answered questions satisfactorily.
Mr Moses Aryee, a Principal Programme Officer at the Environmental Protection Authority, who joined the team in the campaign drive, urged individuals, communities, and organisations to support the fight against the plastic waste menace, noting that single-use plastics posed environmental threats.
Madam Jane Naki Tetteh-Aonwie, President of Women in Engineering, Ghana Institution of Engineering, commended Groupe Ndoum for the initiative and called for continued collaborative efforts to address plastic waste.
Themed: “Beat Plastic Pollution,” the 2025 World Environment Day seeks to raise global awareness about the damaging effects of plastic waste on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health.
It is to rally worldwide communities to adopt and support impactful solutions to tackling plastic pollution, pointing out the growing scientific evidence of the effects of plastic pollution in the world.
The programme calls for actions that “refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink the use of plastics.”
