Sustainability on campus is no longer a distant dream — it’s becoming a powerful reality, thanks to Good Humans 268 Inc. and the University of Health Sciences Antigua (UHSA), which has officially joined the Student Community Service Recycling Project.
Now the second tertiary institution in Antigua and Barbuda to come on board, UHSA’s involvement represents a significant step in expanding waste management efforts across the island. With clearly labeled bins now installed for plastics, cans, and glass, and students trained in proper waste separation, the project is cultivating a new generation of eco-conscious citizens.
“This partnership with UHSA is part of a much larger mission,” said Joshuanette Francis, founder of Good Humans 268 Inc. “We’re aiming to move beyond education into Eco-Communities, Eco-Businesses, and Eco-Events. We’re rewriting the script on how waste is managed in every sector.”
The campus rollout is supported by the Sandals Foundation and the GEF Small Grants Programme, both of which have fueled the program’s rapid growth. In just its first year, the initiative has diverted over 1 million items from the landfill.
Dr. Adedayo Akande, UHSA’s President, sees the collaboration as integral to the university’s ethos. “We are preparing tomorrow’s healthcare professionals — and that must include responsibility to people and planet.”
As plans are made to distribute bins to more institutions and communities across the island, UHSA’s participation marks a vital push forward toward a cleaner, more sustainable Antigua and Barbuda.
