Invest in our Planet
Author: Balwin Foundation
The theme for Earth Day 2022 is "Invest in our Planet," which encourages businesses to adopt more environmentally friendly practices.
The mission for World Earth Day is to diversify, educate, and activate the environmental movement worldwide.
At Balwin we take part in Earth Day and resolve to protect the environment and biodiversity through learning within our youth training development programs.
Environmental & Recycling Youth programme 2022
This is one of our recycling training programme in collaboration with INtsika Yethu Foundation and we are happy to see community members of Lwandle and Nomzamo both youth and adults came in numbers, to show their commitment towards the recycling training programme that has recently commenced in March 2022.
WORLD WATER DAY
"Making the invisible visible"
As part of our water safety and swimming program, we are not only focusing on survival within water but we also raise public awareness about the significance of fresh water and sustainable management of this significant resource.
One of the main purposes of this day is to “support the achievement of sustainable development goal (SDG) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030."
This past weekend we had the opportunity to join Adopt-a-River team as well as many other organizations such, WESSA KwaZulu-Natal Region , reddamhouseumhlanga, Philocaly Trail , @chelsea_prep , Oceans Alive to name a few for their monthly clean ups at the @beachwoodmangroves , Durban.
Hope with this initiative we are able to reach out to many more people to join in on the clean ups and also to raise awareness of water pollution as well as keeping our sea life safe and clean.
