Extended days for Community Environmental Clean Up
Despite being a short-term cleanup event, we are very grateful for the successful identification, planning, and execution of waste removal in clogged areas of Kibera, Highrise & Seafar, and Nairobi West. Although initially planned for three days, the exercise extended to five days and one night. ETCO deeply appreciates the partnership with PAKPRO and KEPRO and looks forward to continued collaboration in the future.
The event achieved the following:
1. A total of 68 Community members across the 3 areas employed for 5 days.
2. A total of 700 meters of the river were cleaned across the three areas.
3. 7 tonnes of wet waste and 2 tonnes of dry waste were collected.
