Since our first cleanup April 25, 2019, Trashtag Kuwait has organized cleanups every weekend, sometimes twice a week, always of public invitation. Our digital volunteer groups consist of 400+ volunteers and our social media platform is supported by more than 7,000 community members. With the help of our amazing volunteers we have been able to collect 2,630 bags of debris from the beaches, deserts, parks and islands of Kuwait.

Kuwait is plagued by a host of environmental stressors and is at the forefront of countries most experiencing the results of climate change. In an effort to create an intersectional conversation towards the environment, Trashtag Kuwait proudly provides research from the scientific community and communicates it into soluble informative campaigns structured to start discussions and find solutions to a more sustainable coexistence.

Trashtag Kuwait has organized and collaborated on multiple student awareness programs for children at Loyac, including the KON program. We have also organized educational clean ups for kindergarten and elementary schools such as UAS as well as implementing community service programs for students at Kuwait University and UNESCO schools.  

One of our most unique and cherished qualities of our community is diversity. The ability to evoke passion and support environmental consciousness throughout various communities. Without our community none of our efforts would ever be possible. Which is why in response to the pandemic and the circumstances so many low income earning communities found themselves in, Trashtag Kuwait mobilized our network of volunteers into various fields to provide aid to those suffering in need.

While Trashtag Kuwait started only a year ago as a weekly beach cleanup group, it is with great passion and teamwork that they have been able to mobilize the community into a dedicated and driven grassroots initiative that aims to tackle pollution not just by on the ground direct work, but also systematically through raising awareness, campaigning, and collaborating with like minded supporters to be able to accomplish real change for the environment and those we cohabitate with.

While Trashtag Kuwait continues to cleanup Kuwait every weekend and raise awareness on the different forms of pollution plaguing the environment, they are also organized in civil service and have delivered aid to over 400 families in need since June.

Now Trashtag Kuwait in partnership with Engie Solutions launched their latest environmental and community inclusive initiative, Project My Mai. The goal of the initiative is to install water filters in impoverished communities that lack access to protected sources of water.

While Kuwait ensures our tap water meets all international health standards, Trashtag Kuwait and Engie aim to help 500 families have access to water filters to protect clean water from possible contamination of old pipes or infrequently cleaned tanks. This initiative is expected to save the environment from the need of over 2 million plastic water bottles.
