Lumbazi would have been a good place, but everything was wrong about its environment.

There were broken bottles everywhere. Pieces of paper littered the streets and the air smelled very bad.

Children got injured from broken bottles.

When it was windy, pieces of paper flew and hung on trees and roofs.

This kept many people away from visiting Lumbazi.

One day, 9-year-old Chike shared an idea with his friends.

"Let us clean our environment together. We can sweep, pick up broken bottles and make waste bins for our houses and streets."

"This will help us stay clean. It will attract other communities to visit us," Chike continued.

As he spoke, Obi said, "I will carefully pick up the broken bottles. I will place them where they won't injure us."

Felix said, "I will bring one of the old buckets in my house so we can use it as a trash can."

They worked together every day.

Since that day, Lumbazi became a healthy and safe place for everyone to stay.
