  • Identify and engage government, business, and community groups to impact their awareness, convictions, and skill-sets regarding the issues and methods around the sustainable treatment of e-Waste
  • Engage with media houses to air video documentaries (produced by trained youth) to alert the national and regional population to the hazards and available safe disposal methods of e-waste
  • Host capacity building sessions to encourage other NGO and CBO groups in the national society to build upon this initiative and also to embark on related e-waste management initiatives within their communities
