Our Story
The Chake chake Waste Management Portal was established in 2019 as a response to the growing waste management challenges in Pemba Island.
Facing increasing tourist visits and changing consumption patterns, Pemba needed a comprehensive approach to manage waste sustainably. Our initiative began as a collaboration between local government, environmental experts, and community leaders.
Over the years, we have grown from a small waste collection operation to a comprehensive waste management ecosystem that incorporates data-driven decision making, community education, and circular economy principles.
