A breath of fresh air and eco-citizenship swept through Yopougon. Last Friday, May 22nd, the Azito neighborhood, usually grappling with the challenge of waste management, was the scene of a major cleanup and awareness campaign. Behind this initiative was the company Karpowership , which successfully brought together young people, local associations, and environmental experts around a common cause.

From theory to practice: 50 trained ambassadors

The initiative began with a crucial educational component. Nearly 50 young volunteers participated in an intensive training session focused on:

1. Public hygiene,
2. Waste sorting techniques,
3. The fight against the proliferation of recyclable plastics, a real scourge for the urban environment.

Armed with this new knowledge, the participants took action on the ground. The enthusiasm proved contagious: seeing the positive momentum building, many local residents spontaneously joined the movement, transforming this cleanup effort into a wonderful display of civic solidarity.

Beyond electricity: a sustainable commitment

For the initiators and local leaders, this day marks the beginning of a collective awareness.

“We want to create a lasting and significant impact beyond energy production.” — Mr. Gunkut Korman , Country Coordinator for Karpowership Côte d'Ivoire

“Nature belongs to each and every one of us. We must protect it.” — Mr. Assim Saba , President of the Municipal Youth Council

An example to follow

Praised by local authorities and all partners, this operation highlighted the importance of multiplying initiatives of this kind. By going beyond its primary mission as an electricity supplier, Karpowership demonstrates its desire to raise awareness, placing sustainability and social responsibility at the heart of its priorities.
