At 6,671 km long, the Nile is not only the longest river on the continent and the most important source of drinking water in the desert state, but is also one of the 10 rivers most polluted with plastic waste in the world.<br \/><br \/>Where these two superlatives meet, oeoo launched a new long-term cleanup project for the Nile and adjacent waters in Cairo and Luxor in 2021 (the original launch in 2020 had to be postponed due to COVID-19) in collaboration with the local initiative VeryNile and numerous volunteers.<br \/><br \/>In spring 2021, oeoo financed a new SeeHamster, which was built in Cairo according to oeoo\u2019s plans. It is manned five days a week by three local operators to clean the banks of the Nile.<br \/><br \/>The collected waste is further processed by the \u201cZabaleen\u201d, a population group specialized in manual waste disposal, separation and recycling, which contributes to improving the income of this very poor immigrant population group.<br \/><br \/>In addition, VeryNile has been providing on-site education since 2018 to teach the often poorly informed population about the consequences of (marine) littering. Through our extensive contacts with the Egyptian Ministry of Environment and Education, we have a competent partner in VeryNile to implement a successful cleaning project on-site in the coming years. This project is financed by contributions from the R\u00f6chling Foundation as well as individual donations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-14d89efc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-gap-beside-yes elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-column-vertical-align-stretch\" data-id=\"14d89efc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3db8b51a\" data-id=\"3db8b51a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-292299e6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"292299e6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a4c4ae7\" data-id=\"1a4c4ae7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-130bd14f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"130bd14f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56327fcf\" data-id=\"56327fcf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40057d79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"40057d79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-936b074 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-gap-beside-yes elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-column-vertical-align-stretch\" data-id=\"936b074\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ba786f5\" data-id=\"6ba786f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6da7f746 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6da7f746\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bdb837c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-gap-beside-yes elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-column-vertical-align-stretch\" data-id=\"bdb837c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7982340\" data-id=\"7982340\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b3c29f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b3c29f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>The Nile, with more than 6,600 km the longest river on the continent, was already revered by the pharaohs as the lifeline of their civilization.

in cooperation with the local environmental organization VeryNile. oeoo used donations to finance the construction of a SeeHamster, which was built locally in Cairo in just four weeks following to oeoo\u2019s technical plans (see photos).\u00a0<br \/><br \/>The vessel was officially inaugurated in early March by the Egyptian Minister of the Environment and has since been in regular operation.\u00a0<br \/>Together with 50 volunteers, over 1,000 kg of waste have already been collected. Starting in May 2021, oeoo began financing a two-person crew to ensure the SeeHamster\u2019s ongoing operation and maintenance. At the end of 2021, a \u201cNile Day\u201d involving all countries along the Nile was planned.

With a population of around 20 million, Cairo is the largest metropolis in Africa. At 6,671 km long, the Nile is not only the longest river on the continent and the most important source of drinking water in the desert state, but is also one of the 10 rivers most polluted with plastic waste in the world. Where these two superlatives meet, oeoo launched a new long-term cleanup project for the Nile and adjacent waters in Cairo and Luxor in 2021 (the original launch in 2020 had to be postponed due to COVID-19) in collaboration with the local initiative VeryNile and numerous volunteers. In spring 2021, oeoo financed a new SeeHamster, which was built in Cairo according to oeoo\u2019s plans. It is manned five days a week by three local operators to clean the banks of the Nile. The collected waste is further processed by the \u201cZabaleen\u201d, a population group specialized in manual waste disposal, separation and recycling, which contributes to improving the income of this very poor immigrant population group. In addition, VeryNile has been providing on-site education since 2018 to teach the often poorly informed population about the consequences of (marine) littering. Through our extensive contacts with the Egyptian Ministry of Environment and Education, we have a competent partner in VeryNile to implement a successful cleaning project on-site in the coming years. This project is financed by contributions from the R\u00f6chling Foundation as well as individual donations. The Nile, with more than 6,600 km the longest river on the continent, was already revered by the pharaohs as the lifeline of their civilization. Today, that reverence has largely disappeared. Although the Nile remains the desert states primary source of drinking water, it is now considered one of the ten most polluted rivers in the world. The river and its extensive network of irrigation canals have increasingly become dumping grounds for waste from across the country. Vast carpets of plastic clog the waterways and pollute the water.\u00a0Over time, this plastic breaks down into microplastics, which are carried onto agricultural fields through irrigation systems. The situation is particularly severe in the densely populated metropolitan area of Cairo.
