We are excited to share that our team, in partnership with Green Initiatives and River Cleanup , collected over 78kg of plastic waste in Buea, Cameroon, on World Cleanup Day! This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of our 20 volunteers who joined thousands of people globally in taking action to clean, raise awareness, and make our community cleaner.

World Cleanup Day is a powerful reminder that individual and collective actions can drive significant positive change. Our efforts in Buea contribute to a broader movement promoting sustainability, environmental awareness, and community engagement.

As we celebrate this achievement, we're committed to ongoing environmental stewardship. We encourage others to join us in adopting sustainable practices, reducing waste, and promoting community-led initiatives.

Through the beautiful game of soccer, we turned the field into more than just a place to score goals, but equally a space to learn, to grow, and to protect our blue planet. 💙💚

✅ Teams were guided by committed and passionate mentors who showed what leadership looks like on and off the pitch.

✅ We celebrated 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 in a time when our world needs it most.

We are grateful for every partner and supporter who stood with us in this mission. Together with friends like CENEC Cameroon, Abasha, Unwaste.io, James Pribram Eco Warrior Foundation, and many others, we proved that sports can also be a force for sustainability and unity.

As we face the harsh reality of 8 million tons of plastic waste entering our oceans every year, it's clear that plastic pollution is a pressing issue that demands immediate action. To address this challenge, we hosted the 2025 WIND Summit, supported by Planeteer Alliance Captain Planet Foundation , bringing together youth leaders and passionate individuals to share ideas, develop solutions, and tackle local plastic pollution issues in Cameroon.

At Greening Forward, we're committed to empowering youth to drive change and create a sustainable future. Our summit aligned with our mission to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship, and we were proud to bring together young leaders passionate about creating a plastic-free future.

Our exceptional speakers shed light on waste management challenges, policy frameworks, and health impacts of plastic pollution. Special recognition to our project manager, Ngole Amstrong , for his outstanding leadership and planning skills that made this event a success!
