Environmental Sustainability Mission
At PLAEP, we are committed to environmental sustainability and strive to be responsible stewards of our planet. We believe that small actions can create significant positive change. Through our collective efforts, we aim to minimize our ecological footprint and inspire others to join us in creating a sustainable future.
Renewable Energy
We work to combat energy poverty and climate change, providing rural communities on the Copperbelt Province with economic opportunity and clean energy solutions that work until no one is left in the dark.
Tree Planting
PLAEP works with hundreds of small-scale farmers on the Copperbelt Province to promote the growing of indigenous and value trees to create forests and increase carbon capture. The farmers are provided with training and tools and encouraged to set aside part of their lands for agroforestry activities.
Waste Recycling
Our mission is to promote recycling as a crucial step towards a sustainable future. Together, we reduce landfill burden, conserve resources, and minimize waste’s harmful effects. Through collaboration, education, and innovation, we empower individuals to make recycling a daily habit.
