••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The idea of Keep Kanam clean initiative was born out of our passion in rendering humanitarian based services and of course, our desire in having a clean and healthy environment for all.
The emergency or birth of a concept called “Keep Kanam Clean” with a mission to educate our society on the hazardous negative impacts of dumping of refuses and to have indeed a community of people with the desire or foresight of having a clean and conducive environment hence, working round communities, places and areas in order to clean up all wastes dumped around depicted indiscriminately.
*Some Achievements;*
So far, so good, one cannot denied the fact that, the initiative has achieved some of its targeted goals in the span of this a year. In fact, one of which is cleaning up the environs around Dengi town and villages (we have done a phase.1 on 3rd Sept 2022 and phase.2 on 1st May 2023). These were achievements and part of our goals.
We have also been able to acquired some cleaning tools like Shovels, Brooms, Rakes, Manual knapsack Sprayers , Gloves Boots, Facemasks,some Disposable bins,and so also provision of written constitution to the Organization and registration with others relevant bodies or department.
*The Challenges;*
We are always happy that we go out to clean communities and find a great number of people coming out to help, but to our challenges just like any other organization or entity, ours are working tools to which are running short of.
This factor or plight most at time makes the work slow and in some time we left it unfinished due to this shortest and despite our the numbers.
It is also perturbing and constitute of course, part our challenges is vehicle or means of conveying wastes to a permanent dumping site. This is also our usual problem, seeing that the group doesn’t have a single truck to help out. At times we have no option than to hire like four or five local waste van to help in transporting the refuses to final disposal site. We mostly use hire vans which are adding more expenses on the Organization, and leading to higher cost of the whole thing to the initiative or Converner.
*Appreciation;*
It is with outmost joy that we write today to appreciate God Almighty, our Maker and Designer who have laid this initiative in our hearts, it is He who has also helped in giving us excellent individuals who have overtime keyed into the vision of this initiative.
We appreciate the relentless efforts of our convener, in person of Sanitarian Suleiman Pangkwal A.without whom this initiative would have just been a fiction.
We write today to express our gratitude to all members/those who have been participating in making sure this vision becomes a reality. We appreciate you all for using your effort, time, strength and resources.
You will also recall that the group in it’s quest to seeing that it does everything in order nominated board of Advisers and also Legal Advisers. We are full of gratitude to these nominated individuals for the tremendous support they have shown to make sure this initiative is achieved.
It is no doubt that without finances we wouldn’t have achieved much, as we need money to get our cleaning equipments. Therefore we wish to tender our gratitude to all those who have supported this initiative financially. May God replenish where you’ve removed from to help serve humanity.
We also write today to appreciate our media partners on the Plateau (Peace FM 90.5 and Jay FM 93.3) for always giving us time to reach out to the public. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to give the needed awareness and publication.
Lastly we write to appreciate the effort of the general public. Some have encouraged us through texts, calls and in the publicity of our programs on various social media handles.
We are not relenting, but rather, we have made a promise within ourselves to make sure we put smiles on the faces of our communities by providing them a clean and healthy environment. Our doors are always open to those who would want to key into our vision and will want to partner with us to seeing to a clean and healthy environment. Accept the assurances of our esteemed commitment and regards.
