Olam Agri Champions Sustainable Development with Bekoko Public School Renovation and Waste Management Initiatives

Sustainability


Douala, Cameroon
– Olam Agri has successfully completed upgrades to Bekoko Public School and launched a back-to-school waste management project as part of its efforts to foster a healthier and more sustainable learning environment for students in the Littoral region.

In a significant move to improve the infrastructure at Bekoko Public School, Olam Agri has renovated the school’s toilet facilities, which had been completely abandoned.
 

Sustainable development

This renovation addresses a critical need for over 1,000 students who previously had no proper sanitation facilities. The newly refurbished toilets will ensure that students have a clean and safe place to attend to their needs, thereby enhancing their overall school experience. Additionally, Olam Agri has undertaken the task of spreading pozzoland soil and levelling the school compound. This initiative will prevent flooding, making it easier for students to access the school campus, especially during the rainy season.


Beyond infrastructure improvements, Olam Agri has launched a comprehensive back-to-school waste management project in three schools—Bekoko Public School, Ecole Maternelle et Primaire Bilingue SMART Babenga, and Arc en Ciel Bwadibo. This project includes the installation of waste bins and a month-long training programme throughout September, aimed at educating students on effective waste management practices. By instilling these habits at an early age, it aims to drive awareness and foster a culture of sustainability among students, teachers, and the wider community.
