The bamboo trees, which are known for their strong root system, will not only help in stabilizing the river banks, but also contribute to reducing soil erosion and flooding.

Sulaiman said from the funds raised they managed to put up six waste bunkers in areas of; Koranorya, Kizungu, City Council, Kasanyarazi and Rufura in Ruti. One waste Bunker has a storage capacity of 75kgs and is emptied minimumly 3 times in a year(quarterly)

Sulaiman called upon all people of good will to join them for this year’s marathon that will take place on 30th July aimed at constructing more waste bunkers. He said that if these waste bunkers are put to good use ,they will achieve their target of saving river Rwizi.
