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.

Moving towards Separation of Waste at Source

Friends,
We hosted the best and the biggest ever World Environment Day Clean-up Campaign in the World yesterday.
The Provincial Director of Environment Nairobi Mr. Titus Simiyu flagging off the World Environment Day Clean-up at Muthurwa Market along Landhies Road yesterday the 5th June 2012 to mark The World Environment Day. He is flanked by Mr. Gabriel Omondi- an Assistant Director of Environment at The City Council of Nairobi.
History was in the making at Muthurwa along Landhies Road, at Makadara along Jogoo Road and at the Donholm Round About when Kenyans cleared waste that has been dumped on us by irresponsible people.
The statement was very clear; we must stop dumping waste on us.
In partnership with the Provincial Environment Office Nairobi, the City Council of Nairobi, the Provincial Administration in Nairobi and several other partners, we were able to clear all the garbage at Muthurwa along Landhies Road, at Makadara DC at the Fly-over and at the Donholm Round About.
