Working together to make the earth clean and healthy
It’s not common for the president of a country to support the efforts of an NGO. However, environmental pollution is a growing threat to the future of mankind. In response, the WeLoveU Foundation carries out volunteer activities in countries around the world to protect the environment, including the Clean World Movement. International governments and municipalities have acknowledged WeLoveU volunteers for their efforts to clean up local communities and raise awareness of environmental issues.
Creating a clean environment and healthy Earth can be accomplished when local communities, countries and the world work together. The WeLoveU Foundation took a step closer toward that goal by gaining the support of President Ali Bongo. WeLoveU volunteers plan to continue to take the initiative in saving the earth by carrying out environmental protection activities.
