As part of promoting hygiene in the country, a Lilongwe- based youth group led by Ambassadors Charity Trust (ACT) on Tuesday launched a project under Lilongwe City Waste Management Project called “Lilongwe City NYASI MAYAZI.”

Speaking after the general sweeping exercise in the Malawi’s capital city, the Nyasi Mayazi movement chair, Connie Lulanga said they would like to make Lilongwe Bus Depot as an example that it is possible to have Clean cities in Malawi.



He said the initiative is also one way of contributing to the actualization of MW2063 as youths.

A representative from Lilongwe City Council Grant Kusamba appreciated the gesture from the youths saying, the project will help them as the city council to effectively manage sanitation and proper waste management in Lilongwe Town, hence making the city look more beautiful.

As part of ensuring effective collaboration in this noble task that has been set ahead, the Bus Depot Community Policing chair, Alex M’baya expressed his excitement to work with this youth grouping to ensure that the Bus Depot is always tidy.

The chair emphasized that they will take full responsibility to ensure that people do not litter everwhere in the Bus Depot.
