In 2017, KRTC embarked on several impactful cleaning initiatives aimed at improving sanitation and fostering a healthier environment across Nairobi. These activities targeted critical areas such as schools, marketplaces, residential neighborhoods, and public spaces, addressing the growing need for sustainable waste management and cleanliness.
Key Highlights:
- Community Market Clean-ups
- Regular cleaning campaigns were conducted in bustling markets like Gikomba, Toi, and Kangemi to manage waste and create cleaner trading spaces for vendors and customers.
- School Sanitation Drives
- Partnering with local schools, we organized cleaning and awareness programs to improve hygiene in school facilities and promote sustainable waste disposal practices among students.
- Neighborhood Clean-up Projects
- Residential areas in Kibera, Mathare, and Eastleigh saw intensive clean-up efforts, focusing on clearing illegal dumpsites, unclogging drainage systems, and removing hazardous waste.
- Public Park Restoration
- Public spaces such as Uhuru Park and Jeevanjee Gardens benefited from KRTC-led clean-ups, revitalizing these recreational areas for community use.
- Collaborative Initiatives
- Our efforts were supported by volunteers, local businesses, and Nairobi County authorities, who provided resources and manpower to amplify our impact.
Through these activities, we not only improved cleanliness in Nairobi but also raised awareness about the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining a sustainable urban environment.
