Tupende Project is aimed at tackling landfills and water pollution in the Mahama refugee camp. We want to make use of the food wastage for fertilization and plastic bottles for irrigation systems. This is because of a large number of patients Save the Children and ARC hospitals receive about 600 patients per day and many more of them present similar symptoms. The research shows that over 5000 vulnerable people of which 3000 are breastfeeding women, 1500 are old people over 60 years, and 520 are people with physical disabilities. In addition to that, 780 are chronically ill. So, the experienced doctors encourage them to drink cooked water and try at least to eat different fruits to feed their body soldiers. Yet these refugees can not afford fruits while having limited resources. In addition to that, these fruits are costly because they come from far. We want to launch fruits and all related vegetable business project that aims to use food wastage for fertilization and plastic bottles for irrigation systems as a result of fighting landfills and water pollution while providing balanced diets to these refugees in Mahama Camp.
During the Four months of Millennium Fellowship, I am hoping to be the one across the province serving our clients with the best quality products in the support of waste collections both food waste for fertilization and plastic bottles for irrigation. I want to open an ongoing job opportunity all the time for whoever is interested to supply plastic bottles and food wastage to be used for my project. All that said, I want to reach the point where there is no more full of waste on every site which will contribute to the cut-off of landfills and cleaned water sources. To measure this impact, during the first three months of operation, there will be less food wastage and plastic bottles. Again, the number of patients people will drive down in the hospitals.
