AND JUST LIKE THAT… WE ARE IN NDOLA...
A lot has happened today, and honestly, I am speechless as I type this.
Today, we donated 50 bus bins at Mulungushi Bus Station in Ndola, Copperbelt Province as we pilot the TAKE IT TO THE BIN bus-bin initiative here.
Who would have thought that an initiative that started with daily reminders on buses, and a simple call asking 100 people to contribute K35 towards a bin, would take us all the way to Ndola?
And this is where Ecobridge Foundation, through Ruth Riches and Febby Syansangu, came in. Ecobridge believes in meeting people where they are, supporting their initiatives and being a bridge to opportunities and today, they helped us turn an idea into something tangible.
What made today even more special was seeing so many stakeholders come together: Sun fm, Luna Lifestyle TV, Ndola City Council the Zambia Police Service, the Bus Drivers Association and the Department of Public Health.
I was also given an opportunity to speak to the bus drivers, and my message was simple: this campaign is not for the Council, Ecobridge, TAKE IT TO THE BIN, or any one organisation. It is for Zambia.
We need everyone to come on board.
It would be beautiful to see bus drivers themselves mobilising and supporting the installation of bins on their buses. We cannot continue losing children to preventable diseases, watching homes suffer from floods, and seeing our beautiful environment become dirtier while we wait for someone else to act.
We all have a role to play.
Today, 50 bins are in Ndola. But this is only the beginning.
Thank you to every stakeholder who showed up, supported, listened, partnered and believed in this initiative.
And to Ecobridge Foundation—thank you for being the bridge that helped take this idea beyond where it started.
TAKE IT TO THE BIN.
Remember, litter kills long after you are gone...
