LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-In celebration of World Environment Day, Airtel Malawi hosted a product showcase at the Airtel headquarters in collaboration with Kibébé, a local social enterprise renowned for crafting re-purposed handmade products from recycled plastics.
The collaboration underscores Airtel Malawi’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability
and community empowerment.
As part of the commemoration, Kibébé hosted a pop-up stall at the Airtel Malawi Headquarters in Lilongwe, giving employees the opportunity to support the organization’s work by purchasing a variety of eco-friendly, upcycled items.

responsibility agenda, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12
(Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

communities it serves, championing sustainability, inclusion, and innovation.
