In a groundbreaking show of corporate responsibility and environmental leadership, Mohinani Group has launched \u2018Chaley, Sort It Out!\u2019 \u2014 Ghana\u2019s largest-ever national school waste education campaign.<\/p>\n

In partnership with StratNova Partners, TKC Africa, and the Ghana Education Service, the initiative is set to impact over 56,000 students across six municipalities, with a broader reach to more than 500,000 individuals nationwide through grassroots and digital engagement.<\/p>\n

Now in its sixth year, this campaign reflects Mohinani Group\u2019s enduring commitment to youth empowerment, sustainable education, and environmental innovation. <\/p>\n

\"Mohinani<\/figure>\n

With a legacy spanning over five decades, the Group is one of Ghana\u2019s most diversified industrial conglomerates, owning market-leading brands such as Polytank, Electromart, Somoco, and KFC Ghana. <\/p>\n

As part of its sustainability agenda, Mohinani Group recently established Ghana\u2019s first-ever bottle-to-bottle recycling plant, signalling a bold move toward circular economy practices in West Africa.<\/p>\n

A National Commitment to Change<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s campaign has already seen over 42 schools onboarded across key assemblies, including Ledzokuku, Krowor, Korle Klottey, Ablekuma, and La Nkwantanang. <\/p>\n

In each school, students are taken through immersive, hands-on sessions where they learn about plastic, paper, and organic waste, how to properly sort them, and the broader impact of waste mismanagement on public health and the environment.<\/p>\n

\"Mohinani<\/figure>\n

According to Ashok Mohinani, Chairman of Mohinani Group, \u201cAt Mohinani, sustainability is not just a priority, it is a promise. We believe that by empowering children with knowledge and responsibility, we are investing in a cleaner, safer, and smarter future for Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

To ensure the campaign leaves a lasting impression, every participating school receives waste sorting bins, visual learning aids, and stationery packs made from recycled materials. These tools are designed to help students turn daily learning into lifelong action.<\/p>\n

Cultivating Innovation Through Waste<\/strong><\/p>\n

The campaign also introduces a creative dimension through its Innovation Challenge, where each school nominates an \u201cInnovation Squad\u201d made up of three students and a supervising teacher. <\/p>\n

These squads are challenged to develop creative solutions, products, or systems using recyclable materials found in their environments. <\/p>\n

In November, selected schools will showcase their work at a National Innovation Fair, where winners will receive seed funding to bring their projects to life. The challenge is designed not only to drive problem-solving skills but also to shift the mindset from waste disposal to resource transformation.<\/p>\n

Powered by Youth, Guided by Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

The campaign is supported by a passionate network of over 60 trained student volunteers from Academic City University, who have been instrumental in leading classroom engagements, introducing the campaign anthem and dance, and supporting idea development at the school level. <\/p>\n

Their contribution ensures that learning is interactive, exciting, and deeply relatable to the students.<\/p>\n

In addition, local recycling startup Paper Buddy, through its parent initiative BagIt Ghana, is actively collecting and processing paper waste from participating schools to ensure that the lessons of recycling are not only taught but also lived out.<\/p>\n

A Blueprint for Purposeful CSR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis campaign is a powerful reminder that business can be a force for good,\u201d said Hanna Acquah, Director at TKC Africa. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are building is not just an intervention \u2014 it\u2019s a long-term education ecosystem that connects classrooms, companies, and communities in service of a shared sustainability goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

As momentum builds, \u2018Chaley, Sort It Out!\u2019 stands as a model for how private sector leadership can influence national education agendas, inspire climate awareness, and create shared value at scale. <\/p>\n

For Mohinani Group, this is more than corporate social responsibility \u2014 it is a generational investment in the future of Ghana<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
