'Little Municipal Village' Opens in Riffa to Teach Kids About Waste Sorting and Cleanliness Laws
As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting environmental awareness and a culture of cleanliness, the Southern Municipality has launched a fun and educational event for children called 'Little Municipal Village', in collaboration with the Southern Municipal Council.
Held at Oasis Mall in Riffa, the week-long event runs from Saturday, July 12 to Friday, July 18, 2025, from 4 PM to 8 PM daily, as part of the 'Southern Summer' activities.
The initiative aims to teach young children the importance of keeping their surroundings clean, sorting waste, and embracing recycling habits. The launch was attended by Eng. Isa Abdulrahman Al Buainain, Director General of the Southern Municipality, Mr. Abdullah Ibrahim Abdullatif, Chairman of the Municipal Council, and several partners including Adnan Al Malki, Chairman of Dar Al Manar for Elderly Care, Sandeep Narain, Regional Manager of Oasis Mall, and Junaid Methal, Mall and Leasing Manager.
The event features a variety of interactive and educational zones tailored for kids, including workshops, storytelling corners, educational talks, and short awareness films—all designed to instill eco-friendly values from a young age.
Beloved Bahraini artists Khalil Al Rumaithi, Bassam Ali, and Mohammed Saqr will be joining the children throughout the week, hosting fun competitions and handing out prizes through engaging activities with both kids and their families.
Municipality staff are also offering simple demonstrations on how to sort waste, recycle properly, and protect natural resources. They're explaining the basics of Bahrain's Public Cleanliness Law No. 10 of 2019 to help children understand the importance of not littering and keeping public spaces clean.
Several community partners are involved, including:
* Dar Al Manar, offering a recycling corner to show how recycled materials can be transformed into useful products for home or school.
* Nabdhat Hayat volunteer team, conducting first aid workshops and hands-on activities for kids.
* Volunteers from the Gulf University, helping to coordinate the awareness programs.
* Community Police from the Ministry of Interior, supporting the event's goal of creating a more sustainable and aware society.
This fun-filled initiative is part of the municipality's broader vision to educate the next generation and create a cleaner, greener Bahrain.
