This is one of the six thematic areas of JDPC Onitsha. We are challenged by the continuous rating of Onitsha and its environs as one of the dirtiest cities in the world. Consequently to improve environmental condition in Onitsha and its environs, JDPC has taken the bull by the horn by launching campaign on Clean Environment. JDPC Onitsha sees the need to carry out intervention programme of environmental cleanliness by engaging the duty bearers and sensitizing the citizens.

Objective: To raise voices and build conscious citizens that will promote the protection of ecosystem through environmental friendly activities.

Sensitization on Environmental Cleanliness  in 2019

JDPC Onitsha has continued its sensitization programme in schools on protection of our environment against hazardous activities carried out daily by human beings. We see this as one of the sustainable solutions to reducing the effect of climate change as our environments are becoming uninhabitable. So far, we have carried out sensitization campaign in 18 schools, and over 15,000 students and teachers have been reached and sensitized. JDPC Onitsha in this reporting period, visited the following schools:

1. Charles College, Onitsha on Monday, 14^th January
2. Metu Memorial Secondary School, Onitsha on Monday 21^st October
3. Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS), Onitsha on Tuesday, 22^nd October
4. Anthony’s Primary and Secondary Schools, Nkpor on Wednesday, 23^rd October
5. Holy Spirit Primary and Secondary Schools, Omagba on Thursday, 24^th October

These sensitization is usually carried out at the assembly ground to enable us reach out to a good number of students and teachers in the schools. Therefore, we are targeting more than 85% of schools in 10 LGAs in Anambra by the year 2023.
