Welcome to KCDN

This is KCDN, an Environmental Management, Economic Empowerment and Poverty Eradication Civil Society.

We welcome you to our site. Kindly feel free to share with us your thoughts. Ideas that add value will be appreciated. Ideas that want to make us improve our physical environment will be welcome. And more so, ideas that redirect us from the lost cause will be of immense value.

It is us who will improve the lot of our Environment, our Economy and make Kenya a Clean Country, where People join hands to work for our own Economic Emancipation and where Municipal Solid Waste Management is looked at as a resource, not as waste.

We need to set the standards in this region of the World and become the referral point in how a people can join hands and work for their own Economic Liberation, where waste can be used as raw material and become a source of employment for our people.

Our collective actions will surely make a difference. This is why in partnership with our Key Strategic Partners- The Public Service Transformation Department, the National Environment Management Authority, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation,other key Ministries, the Local Authorities in Kenya, the Provincial Administration, A Better World, Akiba Uhaki Foundation and other Partners, we are moving deliberately in sensitizing and mobilizing Kenyans to work towards A Clean Kenya where waste is separated at source.

And this is why we are inviting Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign and be a Member of Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd

Welcome.

The Final Week; The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign

Dear Friends,
The Month of March has been hectic for us at The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign.
On 2nd March, we were in Kisumu for an Awareness Campaign on Separation of Waste at Source. On 6th March, we hosted The Consultative Forum with the Kongowea Market Leaders and on the 9th March, we hosted another Consultative Forum in Kisumu with key stakeholders. We have since posted all these in our Website and Blogspot.
On the 13th March, we will be hosting our last Consultative Forum for the Month at Umoja Estate then the action begins.
A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya will just not happen by itself. It needs some concerted and deliberate efforts to make the process be successful. This is why, with the support of Friends of KCDN, we have been able to reach out to many parts of Kenya sensitizing and mobilizing Kenyans into action.
We are very happy that the Provincial Administration across Kenya, the Local Authorities across Kenya, the Key Ministries, many NGOs, CBOs, FBOs and Corporates have been joining us in this process. A quick visit to our website and blogspot will inform you how well this concept has been received across the Country.
As we approach the 3rd Saturday of the Month, we want to invite all Kenyans across the Country to step forward and do something in realizing a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya. Our Focal Point for this Month will be Kondele Estate on the 17th March, where we will be joined by a strong team from the Provincial Administration, the Kenya Police, the City Council of Kisumu, the Maseno University, the Kisumu Polytechnic, Bamato Environmental and Sanitation Project, Kiwama and many more Friends of KCDN for the Clean-up as from 7.00am.
On the same date, we will have another strong presence at Kongowea Wholesale Market where the Traders, the Councilors, the Municipal Chief Executives, Coast Women in Development, the International Republican Institute and many more Friends of KCDN will be joining us in Cleaning the Market as from 12.00 noon.
In partnership with others, we are determined to make Kongowea the Model Market in East and Central Africa Region. And in Partnership with Maseno University, we want to explore how best to use our various components of waste across the whole Country.
To enable us have this process moving, we want to appeal to all Friends, Institutions, and People of Goodwill for their financial support. We also want to invite your Partnership and Participation with us in this process across the whole Country. Kindly do your part and a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 will be realized.
Those who are willing to support us can reach out to me on the address given below.
We want to sincerely thank the people and institutions who have given us their financial support for this Month. As usual, we will post the list at the end of the Month.
Lastly, we want to appreciate Maseno University, especially the Planning and Architecture Department and the Centre for Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy for the current engagements and consultations we are having. We are certain to make announcements that will ease the question of Waste Management in Kenya.
Time has come when our Universities must be seen in practice as offering solutions to our needs as a Country. And this is where Maseno University will be setting the trends. We also want to invite Kenyans who have lived outside there, seen how systems work, to join us in this Campaign. You have something to offer and your services are needed.
Let us join hands and work for a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change we seek'- President Barack Obama of the USA.
A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is possible and achievable.
