GAYO Botswana Joins Gamodubu Civil Society to Celebrate World Environment Day On Friday, 5th June 2026, GAYO Botswana partnered with Gamodubu Civil Society and other stakeholders to commemorate World Environment Day in Gamodubu Village under the theme "Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future." The day brought together community members, learners, local leadership, and environmental stakeholders for practical climate action at Gamodubu Primary School. Zero Waste education sessions equipped attendees with knowledge on waste segregation, recycling, composting, sustainable consumption, and the purpose of brand auditing as a tool for understanding pollution trends. A highlight of the event was the Zero Waste Guardians Enterprise Showcase, where graduates displayed products made from recyclable and recovered materials, demonstrating that waste can become a resource. Gamodubu Village continues to face significant environmental challenges due to its proximity to Botswana's largest regional landfill. This commemoration showed that with practical skills and collective action, communities can turn waste into economic and environmental opportunities. GAYO Botswana extends gratitude to Gamodubu Civil Society and all stakeholders who made the day a success.
