The 12/12 Cleanliness and Awareness Campaign was launched in Sana’a on Thursday under the title “Cleanliness is a Social Responsibility.”
The campaign, was implemented by the Cleanliness Fund and Project of the Capital Secretariat, was inaugurated with the participation of officials, communities, organizations, youth initiatives, and the Cleanliness Fund Awareness Center in the Bab Al-Yemen area of Old Sana’a.
Dr. Hamoud Abad, Mayor of the Capital Sana’a, along with the heads of the Social Affairs Committee, Hamoud Al-Naqib, Services Committee, Adel Al-Araqi, and Hussein Abdul Qader Hilal, participated in the cleanliness work in the Bab Al-Yemen area.
Dr. Abad described the 12/12 campaign as marking the end of a year of continuous cleanliness efforts by the Capital Secretariat and as a prelude to a new year of cleanliness, beginning with the 1/1 campaign.
He stressed the importance of cleanliness, which he said is essential to the identity and civilization of the Yemeni people, and affirmed the commitment of the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council to promoting this cause.
Abad further explained that this campaign has become an annual tradition since it was first established during the era of Martyr Abdul Qader Hilal.
He called on citizens to commit to removing waste on time and not to throw it in the streets or on central islands.
The campaign will involve the addition of 25 cleaning equipment units, bringing the total to over 280 units, which will work to remove construction waste, dust, and other debris across various districts.
At the launch event, Hussein Abdul Qader Hilal considered the launch of the 12/12 Cleanliness Campaign as a message that embodies the faith identity of the Yemeni people, who are writing heroic stances today in support of Palestine.
“Today, we join the leadership of the Capital Secretariat, citizens, and workers in the 13th edition of the 12/12 cleanliness campaign, which was founded by Martyr Abdul Qader Hilal, in honor of the approach he started with cleaners and all citizens,” Hilal said.
He emphasized the necessity of everyone’s cooperation, including neighborhood leaders, preachers, teachers, intellectuals, media professionals, and various segments of society, along with community institutions, organizations, and voluntary initiatives, to instill the values and principles of cleanliness within the community.
