🌱 Growing a More Sustainable Vieux Grand Port, One Compost Bin at a Time!

A few days ago, we organised another composting training and troubleshooting session for residents of Vieux Grand Port, led by Mrs Veena from FAREI, whose passion and expertise continue to inspire participants.

Following the first training held in January, we were pleased to finally distribute an additional batch of compost bins to those who had been patiently waiting. 55 compost bins delivered up to now!

This initiative forms part of Our Heritage Foundation's long-term project, "Vieux Grand Port: Landscape, Heritage & Community," and the JICA and Ministry of Blue Economy's Coastal Development Project.

Building a sustainable village means caring for both its heritage and its environment. Through composting, clean-up campaigns, tree planting, and awareness activities, we are working with the community to reduce waste and promote sustainable everyday practices.

Together, we continue building a greener and more resilient Vieux Grand Port. 🌿♻️

Our heritage is strongest when every voice is heard. 🤝🌊

At Our Heritage Foundation, community meetings are an essential part of our work. Before, during and after a project, we believe it is important to keep local communities informed, listen to their views, and encourage them to take an active role in decisions affecting their heritage and environment.

These photos were taken during one of our community meetings in Vieux Grand Port, organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment as part of discussions on the South-East coastal development project.

By bringing together residents, government representatives and project partners, we help bridge the gap between communities and decision-makers, ensuring that development takes place while respecting the area's unique natural and cultural heritage.

A village that plays together, stays together. ❤️⚽

Congratulations to the village council members, Vieux Grand Port Judo Club, Eden Hikes, the volunteers, and all the villagers who came together to make this Sports Day such a success.

Yesterday's Sports Day in Vieux Grand Port was much more than a sporting event. It was a celebration of community spirit, bringing together children, youth, families, and volunteers in an atmosphere of friendship, laughter, and shared memories.

At Our Heritage Foundation, we believe that preserving heritage also means strengthening the community that keeps it alive. Events like these bring people together, celebrate our village identity, and help pass on traditions such as Jeux d'Antan to younger generations.

Thank you to everyone who took part. Together, we continue to build a Vieux Grand Port where heritage, culture, community, and well-being go hand in hand.

Nou pe prezerv nou patrimwann, me nou pe osi fer viv nou kominote. 💚

Join us tomorrow for a day of sports, laughter, and community spirit! 🌿🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
