Sahara Group Foundation, Plan International Nigeria sign strategic partnership to deepen recycling intervention
Sahara Group Foundation, the social responsibility division of international energy conglomerate, Sahara Group, has signed a Strategic Partnership Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Plan International Nigeria to deepen inclusive, community-led recycling interventions through its flagship Sahara Go Recycling Project.
The partnership brings together Sahara Group Foundation’s waste-to-wealth expertise and Plan International’s global leadership in child rights, gender equality, and community development, reinforcing a shared commitment to environmental sustainability, economic empowerment, and social inclusion, especially for vulnerable children, young people, and women.
Chidilim Menakaya, Director, Sahara Group Foundation, described the collaboration as a powerful intersection of climate action and human development.
“Sahara Go Recycling was conceived in 2021 as more than an environmental initiative; it is a deliberate platform for inclusion, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods. Designed to unlock economic opportunity at the grassroots, the initiative transforms waste into value while creating pathways for income generation and enterprise. Our partnership with Plan International strengthens this vision by placing empowerment and resilience at the core of our approach, ensuring that environmental responsibility translates into lasting economic value, social inclusion, and shared prosperity for households and communities”.
Dr. Charles Usie, Country Director of Plan International Nigeria, who expressed excitement about the collaboration said the partnership speaks directly to the kind of future we want to build for girls and their communities.
