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 Clean Kenya Campaign on Family TV



THE TRAN-FORMATIVE AGENDA-OUR CITIES CAN BE CLEAN, IT IS POSSIBLE.
 
TCKC interview with Family TV will be aired this coming Friday at 8.00pm.. Odhiambo T. Oketch and Otieno Sungu discussed our vision for clean and admirable cities and towns.
Tune in to Family TV this Friday and watch a short documentary on the state of Nairobi followed by the discussions on waste management. You will also watch what some people are already doing with recycling of waste in their own small ways.The program is called It is all in the family.
It is possible for our cities, town, neighborhoods and streets to achieve zero tolerance to garbage and filth. As a country and a people, we must make a resolve that we shall stop competing with waste at every corner, street, corridors and open spaces.
A clean environment has a direct impact on our health and the cost of health. If we can reduce the cost of Medicare, if we can ensure communicable diseases are reduced, if we can ensure that we turn these mounds of waste into products, we shall not only create opportunities where challenges exist but we will benefit from better management of our environment.
The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC invites all those Kenyans tired of filth to rally behind our efforts; we are all waste generators. We must look for better ways of managing the waste, we must avoid dumping waste all over, that cannot be a suitable solution.  In August, we shall hold the 2nd Consultative forum on waste management at the KICC and we invite all who want to participate in this trans-formative agenda to join us in deliberating the concrete steps towards separation of waste, recycling and converting waste to products. It has been done elsewhere and it can be done here.
We must thank the various media houses which are already taking up responsibility in the awareness campaign. In this regard, let me particularly thank The Star Newspaper, Radio Waumini, Radio Umoja and Family TV.
Managing waste is a responsibility we must all take personally, to this extent, we invite each and every Kenyan to this trans-formative agenda with a clear aim of managing waste and creating opportunities in the process. We believe no Kenyan is an enemy to cleaner and safe environments.
In the next week, we have a number of engagements with several initiatives and groups which have invited us to discuss ways in which they can add value to this campaign. We are also documenting the various ways others are already using waste from households in viable economic activities.
Best,
 
Otieno Sungu.
