The trip seeks to introduce street sweepers to innovative sanitation approaches, including the deployment of workers, sanitary tools, and sweeping methods.
It follows a previous trip by company executives who observed waste management practices and identified areas for adaptation and implementation.
Zoomlion’s Managing Director, Gloria Opoku Anti, emphasized the collaborative aspect of the initiative.

Opoku Anti highlighted the initiative as a significant milestone in Zoomlion’s commitment to empowering street sweepers and enhancing sanitation practices. She stressed the transformative power of education and exposure in improving lives and communities.
Beneficiaries, including Felicia Larbi Okai and Solomon Dankwa, expressed gratitude for the opportunity. Okai, a Zoomlion employee of 16 years, pledged to share the knowledge gained with her colleagues.
