INTERACTION WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

In order to positively contribute to the society in which we live and work, BlueLife supports targeted, micro-level initiatives to alleviate poverty, raise standards of living and protect our environment. We focus in particular on funding training, empowerment initiatives and environmental causes, but also support local-level social and sports programmes.

 

#PRANKONT – The story of a wake-up call

Nature is a priceless gift. With the idyllic landscapes of this paradise island, one would tend to forget that the environment is, nonetheless, fragile, facing the imminent threat of waste management. Stacked on beaches and roadsides, rubbish represents more than an eyesore: a major challenge that both the world and our country need to rise to. At BlueLife Ltd, we value nature as an indispensable asset and therefore decided to help preserve this glorious environment through #prankont, a regional sensitization campaign.

A global survey conducted in 2016 found that an individual generated an average of 0.74 kg of waste per day. With a growing population, this number is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. In Mauritius, prospects are equally daunting with the only landfill of the island totaling 500 000 tons of waste, and approaching a state of saturation.

In order to find more eco-friendly alternatives for the 1500 tons of daily waste generated in Mauritius, BlueLife Ltd, and Azuri launched #Prankont, a sensitization campaign to educate members of the public about this issue, and motivate them to take action. Meaning “beware of this”, the creole phrase is a dynamic call to action, drawing the attention of inhabitants of the North-East region to the waste management problem while enlisting their help in concrete action: the World Cleanup Day, during which over 1400 kg of waste were collected and sorted. Combining diverse age groups to both action and educational aspects of the campaign certainly set the stepping stones for success. Indeed, the inherent element of this success is continuity, by setting forth a viable change in habits that will hopefully inspire other citizens of the country, and the world.
