🌱🗑 🌫 Det är troligt att luftföroreningar i Afghanistan är dödligare än det nuvarande kriget i landet.

Kabul, en stad där det bor ca sex miljoner människor, anses vara en av de mest förorenade huvudstäderna i världen. År av krig och instabilitet har härjat stadens infrastruktur och lämnade tusentals människor i fattigdom.
I staden körs gamla bilar och lågkvalitativa bränslen använd, förutom detta så kämpar många familjer mot kylan och lagar mat genom att bränna kol, sopor och plast. Under 2017 rapporterades 26 000 dödsfall pågrund av luftföroreningar de flesta av dem relaterade till inomhusluft.
Som en del av "Let´s do world cleanup" samlar BRD volontärer, civilsamhället samt privata och lokala myndighet för att lösa problemet med avfall och sopor.

Genom "Keep it clean plan" bygger BRD upp kapaciteten hos ungdomar för att de i sin tur ska kunna sprida medvetenheten kring gifter från avfall,sopor och luftföroreningar i hushållet.

De får också kunskap kring hur de kan minska sitt avfall och hur avfallet som ändå uppstår ska hanteras. Detta är ett av många steg till att minska luftföroreningar och återfå en renare miljö i landet.

💡☮🌱BRD abetar med att bygga upp ett nätverk för diasporaorganisationer i Sverige, som en del i detta arbete deltog BRD i konferensen Afghan Diaspora Conference i Köpenhamn, organisrad av DRC (Danish Refugee Council) den 15e till 16e november.
Mer än fem miljoner afghanska medborgare är bosatta utanför sitt ursprungsland och bildar ett växande antal afghanska diasporaorganisationer som syftar till att bidra till återuppbyggnad, fredsbyggande och en lösning av konflikten i landet. Det finns många enskilda yrkesverksamma samt mer än 134 organisationer som drivs av afghanska diasporor i Sverige. Om de mobiliseras kan de ha stor potential att bidra till att uppnå långvarig fred och utveckling i Afghanistan.

__________________________________________________ 💡☮🌱 BRD aims to establish a Network of Afghan Diaspora organizations in Sweden, as a part of this cause, #BRD took part of the Afghan Diaspora Conference in Copenhagen, organized by #DRC (Danish Refugee Council) on 15 and 16th of November.

More than five million Afghan nationals are residing outside their country of origin, forming a growing number of Afghan diaspora organizations that aim to contribute to #peacebuilding, #reconstruction and the #solution to the conflict in the country. There are many individual professionals as well as more then 134 organizations run by Afghan diasporas in Sweden. If mobilized they might have great potential for contribution to achieve sustained #peace and #development in Afghanistan.
