We want to specifically thank the Teams from Sweden and the United Kingdoms who joined us for the Clean-up.

Our next event is The World Clean Up Day in my neighbourhood in Nairobi. If all these other places can get it this well, we in Nairobi are going to prove that indeed, the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign has been internalized and accepted by many people in Nairobi.
The World Clean Up Day is going to break all records both in terms of attendance and impact. Watch this space. Ama watu wa Nairobi? Let us show the whole world that we mean business and Nairobi will ever remain the Green City in the Sun.
Once more, we are appealing to all willing Friends and Partners to join us and walk with us in this Journey of Hope across Kenya. Your financial and material support will help us work for a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya.
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.
