Sharing some facts… WE NEED TO ACT NOW … Eroded plastics: - taking 1000+years to rot, become breeding places for microbes, leading to tropical diseases: malaria, cholera, dysentery and bilharzia. National Upgrading Slum Strategy and Action Plan for Uganda reports: - 50%+ people in Kampala leave in slums, 50%+ of household occupants hospitalized every three months due to these diseases. 32% households lack pit latrine. 63.3%households dumping areas WE NEED TO ACT NOW …

…COLLECTIVE ACTION NEEDED NOW
