Betio Town Council leads a clean-up campaign.

BTC has started its clean-up, joined by MELAD, Church youth groups such as LDS, SDA and Catholic, Mother communities leaders and community members, Red Cross and ChildFund. v

Yesterday was the first day. The whole group cleaned up two piles of rubbish at Santo Rabaere (in the Southern Ward). 

Red Cross make an announcement during the campaign, reminding people not to throw their rubbish again at these two spots.

ChildFund planted native plants and some flowers to occupy the space. The nearby households were informed to put their rubbish in bags in order to protect the new plantings. 

BTC has finalized the schedule of their trucks in collecting rubbish in the three remaining wards. The schedule will be shared to all Betio people to be prepared for it. 

 This first clean-up started at 6.30am on Friday and took more than 3 hours.
