Households in the El Nasriya community are located on small windy streets, making garbage pick-up by city collectors virtually impossible. The goal of the project is to improve the neighborhood of El Nasriya by acquiring equipment and materials for cleanup and to promote the consistent collection of trash by community members. To accomplish this, the project will purchase two small dumper tricycles and one medium sized truck, trash cans, gloves, garbage bags, which will be used for trash collection in the narrow neighborhood streets of El Nasriya.
In addition, the project is designed to interact with the local community and engage households to participate in the project.
Update: At the time of this posting, February, 2013, all interested parties had received funding and the trucks were ordered. We expect delivery in early March. By the end of March, we anticipate a “clean-up” day in El Nasriya! Updates to follow.
