The Shincheonji Malawi Region has been holding monthly street clean-up campaigns since June 2025, held on the first weekend of every month, with the purpose of raising awareness that littering is a shameful act and providing residents with a clean environment.
This latest activity reflects Shincheonji Malawi’s long-term commitment to environmental care and aligns with the Malawian government’s national “Keep Malawi Clean” policy.
On that day, Shincheonji Malawi members collected discarded household waste from Blantyre city centre, which has dense commercial activity and high waste output, amassing 750kg of litter.
By moving into the city’s busiest zones, Shincheonji Malawi aimed to make a visible impact while actively supporting local government sanitation efforts.
For many participants, the cleanup was more than a civic duty—it was a practical expression of faith.
“I wanted to practise what I learned in daily life,” said Hanreck Benford (22) from Mbayani. “Seeing the city become cleaner with our own hands was deeply rewarding. I want to keep taking part in activities that help our community.”
Looking to the future, a Shincheonji Malawi representative stated that the group intends to continue regular environmental clean-up activities, assess locations for public waste bin installation to be implemented in phases, and expand cooperation into peace education programmes for youth and teenagers.
Meanwhile, the campaign drew broad local attention. Members of the Blantyre mayoral delegation participated on site, and Malawi’s local broadcaster TIMES TV covered the event, airing it on television and publishing related online news reports.
