The Coca-Cola System in Kenya has embarked on an environmental behaviour change campaign involving Copa Coca-Cola 2019 participating secondary school students.

The pitches of one school in every region (former provinces) are set to be revamped after the tournament, which runs from May to July. The programme is part of the company’s initiative to address plastic waste pollution.
