🌍 SWEEP Foundation NG

Building a Circular Economy
in Anambra Since 2020

SWEEP Foundation NG has been active in Anambra State since 2020, working closely with the Ministry of Environment, local government authorities, and community groups to build practical solutions for waste management and the circular economy.

The Foundation's state presence is anchored through the Anambra Waste Recyclers Association (AWRA), the Earthserve Foundation which it helped establish in 2021 — positioning Anambra as a recognized hub for grassroots waste recovery and green enterprise development in Southeast Nigeria.

Our approach remains partnership-driven, focused on delivering measurable economic opportunities while reducing environmental pollution across the state through field engagement in Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, and other LGAs.
