Together, let us be the generation that chooses sustainability over indifference and action over delay. 🌍🌱

World Cleanup Day 2025 was nothing short of inspiring at UNIMAID! 🌍✨

Through our Green Sweep Initiative, and in collaboration with CAYEI, Breath with Green Youth Development Initiative, and The Climate Vanguards Initiative, we came together with passionate volunteers to give our campus a fresh breath.

Together, we collected around 200 kg of waste, from plastics to textiles, filling up 10 heavy refuse bags. Beyond just cleaning, this action was a powerful reminder of the pressing challenge of textile and fashion waste, and the role we all have to play in addressing it.

A heartfelt thank you to every volunteer who rolled up their sleeves and made this possible. Your energy and commitment are shaping a more sustainable and responsible campus community.🌱

Let’s keep the momentum alive, because small acts lead to big change!
