Women's Day Build-Up: Namakwa Coastal Cleaning Programme
This Women's Month, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women in environmental conservation. Joining hands with the community, officials in the Namakwa District are actively cleaning up areas along the sea in Port-Nolloth.
This ocean cleanup program, led by the Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development, and Land Reform, focuses on tackling marine pollution caused by plastic waste and other debris. Women play a crucial role; bringing passion, determination, and leadership to the forefront of these efforts.
Let's celebrate the remarkable women leading the fight against ocean pollution. Join us on the 9th of August for the Women's Day Service Fair in the Namakwa District. The theme for this celebration is "Accelerating Social-Economic Opportunities for Women's Empowerment."
