Monrovia, Liberia – Following a vibrant and successful Monrovia Week celebration, Mayor John Charuk Siafa has announced plans to launch Sanitation Clubs in schools across the city. This initiative, inspired by the community engagement spurred during the Monrovia Week festivities, aims to instill a sense of responsibility and proactive hygiene practices among Liberian students.

Monrovia Week, which concluded in mid-February, featured a range of activities including community clean-up drives, awareness campaigns on waste management, and cultural events promoting civic pride. Mayor Siafa hailed the week as a resounding success, highlighting the increased participation of residents in maintaining a cleaner and healthier environment.

“Monrovia Week demonstrated the power of collective action,” Mayor Siafa stated in a press conference held earlier today. “We saw communities coming together to clean their neighborhoods, showcasing a genuine desire for a cleaner Monrovia. Now, we want to build on this momentum and cultivate these positive habits from a young age.”

The Sanitation Clubs, planned to be introduced in both primary and secondary schools, will focus on educating students about proper waste disposal, hygiene practices, and the importance of environmental stewardship. Activities are expected to include:

  • Educational Workshops: Sessions on waste segregation, composting, and the harmful effects of pollution.
  • Practical Clean-up Drives: Regular community clean-up events organized and led by students.
  • Hygiene Promotion Campaigns: Creating and disseminating messages on handwashing, sanitation, and disease prevention.
  • Environmental Projects: Developing school gardens, recycling initiatives, and other eco-friendly projects.

The Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) will be partnering with the Ministry of Education and various non-governmental organizations to provide the necessary resources and training for teachers and students involved in the program.

“We believe that empowering our students to become agents of change in their communities is crucial for achieving long-term sanitation improvements,” Mayor Siafa explained. “These Sanitation Clubs will not only teach them vital skills but also instill a sense of civic responsibility and pride in keeping their city clean.”

The initiative has been met with positive reactions from educators and community leaders. Many believe that the Sanitation Clubs will play a significant role in fostering a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations of Monrovians.

The official rollout of the Sanitation Clubs is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with pilot programs planned for selected schools across the city. The MCC is optimistic that this initiative will contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious Monrovia, building upon the success of Monrovia Week and fostering a culture of cleanliness from the ground up.
