Wasini Island is a great case study on how the Waste Free in ’23 community empowerment strategy can have an immediate positive impact on the environment as well as people’s lives. We toured the island, as with many places there was plastic scattered everywhere. Bilal told us that the community uses rain water from the roof of buildings for their fresh water supply. I noted that the rain gutters on the roofs were few and not in great condition. Bilal said it is too expensive to buy and install rain gutters. Plastic waste uncollected & Need for rain gutters to collect water and improve quality of life.

Solution

The portable waste free in 23 micro recycling center for plastics can be loaned to wasini island. 1 waste free in 23 mirco recycling center can accept all plastic waste that is scattered around the island..the majority of the plastic can be turned into 640 meters of rain gutter per day. If volunteers collected the waste and operated the equipment the only cost would be transport of the equipment and 2000ksh per day for electricity. Equipment cost is $2000..can be built in mombasa and has a service life of at least 3 years. Putting rain gutters on a 7m x 7m house is more than 1,000 ksh. he thought the family would happily pay 300ksh. If volunteeres operating the equipment..the cost for the gutters they make from the trash would be 100 ksh for the electricity. 640 meters will provide gutters for approximately 20 homes per day. For 100ksh each home can begin collecting rainwater for their fresh water needs..vs. 1,000ksh using virgin materials that uses more power and more transportation pollution than a recycled material solution. Plus some of the plastic laying around the island invariably ends up in the ocean..damaging the mangroves, fish, coral. tourism! It would be great to discuss with those of you who are interested in how we can plan to support wasini island to become waste free.

Thank you for your curiosity and interest in YETC! I’m happy to share more about our organization.

Teaching for learning

The founder of TEACH FOR COMMUNITY,(CEO) is Barnaba Osman Kwanjeli, his partner, he is the program manager at TEACH FOR COMMUNITY is Yussif Ismael Makram, and both of them have set themselves the goal of familiarising young women with today’s digital world in order to give them the opportunity to find a job or start their own business in the future.

The big problem is that the women in my CBO don’t have a place where they can sit down and acquire skills and knowledge. Then I will connect them with the paper on employment opportunities.
In the meantime, I will continue to work with them in the community, however, if I find a good room for this opportunity, I will let you know so that we can sit down and think about how we can improve the situation for everyone.
In my organisation, most of the members are women.
