A little about us...

The Takataka Foundation was founded on the belief that the local community can make a difference to clean up our island, protect our immediate environment and restore the island to its natural beauty.

We dream of a day when takataka no longer litters the streets of our towns and villages. When takataka at our dumping sites is no longer left to blow into the ocean or rot into the land of our shambas. When the community is educated in the harmful effects of plastic pollution. When future generations fight for a world free from single-use plastic and other harmful pollutants.

To achieve our dreams we have come together to create this Community Based Organisation (CBO). With hard work and perseverance, we aim to achieve our dream by following these 4 objectives;


  • Educate our community about the dangers of plastic pollution, how it is harmful to our immediate environment and the world on a greater scale and discourage the use of single-use plastics as much as possible.
