Coastal Zone Cleanup

Cabeólica supported a session of “São Vicente d ‘Costa Clean”, a campaign by Biosfera Cabo Verde, a non-profit association with the main objective of engaging in environment protection initiatives, with a special focus on marine ecosystems and associated fauna.

Through the “São Vicente d ‘Costa Clean” initiative, several monthly clean-up sessions were organized by volunteers for removal of waste all along the coast of Norte de Baía to Praia Grande in São Vicente island.

During the 2019 campaign, six trucks of litter were removed, totalling about 50 cubic meters of solid waste, with the aid of the participating volunteers which totalled over 300.

MultiAdapt Project

Cabeólica co-financed MultiAdapat, an integrated and innovative project aiming to promote flood regulation, microclimatic mitigation and food security promotion in the region of Covoada.

The main focus of the project, promoted by the Association of Friends for Development of the Covoada community, is to create a network of small-scale farms in the community of Covoada, in the island of Santiago, as well as goat farming for the production of meat and milk for local consumption as well as a source of income for the community.

In addition to contributing to strengthening of the community, the project has a strong environmental component due to the use of sustainable practices and technologies.

LigaPlay

Cabeólica contruibutes to LigaPlay – an under 13, under 15 and under 17 soccer school championship event. The program aims to promote inclusion and citizenship, values, awareness, appreciation of human life and social interaction through sport.

Bringing together children and schools from several towns and villages in Santiago, LigaPlay has contributed to a revitalization of sporting events for children.

Cabeólica is an official sponsor of this initiative, integrated in its corporate social responsibility initiatives which aim to promote development and involvement with the community.

Clean Community Equals Healthy Community

Cabeólica supported the educational centers of Paul county, in the island Santo Antão, by sponsoring the project “Clean Community Equals More Health” which was implemented during the month of June 2017.

The fragility of ecosystems in the archipelago and rural isolation have led these schools to seek to raise awareness among the communities to better understand the impacts that positive behavior towards the environment has on the current generation and future ones.

The development of various cultural and sporting activities in this educational center counted on the involvement of the local children who enjoyed many days of true animation!
