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.

A Better World/SOF-DI and KDI; The Clean Kenya Campaign

Friends,
Kounkuey Design Initiative -www.kounkuey.org will be hosting a ground breaking ceremony tomorrow the 15th September 2012 at Lindi/Laini Saba in Kibera for their 4th site that they have reclaimed from garbage and filth.
In the place, a beautiful sanitary block and some social amenities will be erected for the benefit of the locals. KDI has partnered with three groups to design, construct, and manage the new Productive Public Space: SlumCare, Usalama Bridge Youth Reform, and Ndovu – Laini Saba/Lindi Development Group. 
When something is nice, you must claim it. This is the University of Nairobi Chiromo Campaus
KDI is composed of a Team of Volunteers from the United States of America and they are concerned, just like we are, that a Clean and Better Kenya is possible. This will be the 4th site they are reclaiming and turning into Productive Public Space. 
During the cleaning process last Saturday the 8th September 2012, the City Council of Nairobi was present in her full capacity to help give direction to the reclamation process. We must sincerely thank Mr. Marion Kainga who stood in ably for the Director of Environment.
The Clean Kenya Campaign is happy to be associated with these groups turning Kibera around. This is the Clean Kenya we are talking about and we want to invite as many people who may join with us tomorrow to do so.
Kenya will not attain some clean status by itself. It must be some concerted efforts from all of us and from our Friends. It is with this in mind that I want to also publicly acknowledge and appreciate A Better World/SOF-DI for the continued support they have extended to The Clean Kenya Campaign.
Ms Brigitte Frey has been one very consistent supporter and believer in what we are doing at The Clean Kenya Campaign, and her support to us has always given us the edge and the drive to continue.
A Better World/SOF-DI has written to me and pledged their structured support to The Clean Kenya Campaign beginning this Month. Their support will pay for our office rent and support a few logistical and Administrative issues every quarter.
A Better World/SOF-DI- www.sofdi.com is engaged in improving the sanitary conditions of many people in Western Kenya especially in Kisa and Emuhaya through sustained organic farming.
The two cornerstones of SOF-DI’s activities are the transfer of knowledge for the sustainable production of sufficient and healthy food supply by means of organic farming and for providing adequate access to clean water.
Please visit their website and see how The Frey Family is using their Family Resources for the good of Kenya and Kenyans.
When something is nice, you must claim it. This is the University of Nairobi Chiromo Campaus
Such are the Friends we need in Kenya. And The Frey Family have gone a step and joined as Key Partners in The Clean Kenya Campaign. It is also important to note that Ms Brigitte Frey sits as a Member of The Board of Trustees at The Clean Kenya Campaign.
I want to appreciate the many Friends of The Clean Kenya Campaign, men and women whom I harrass for support everyday, and true to their belief, they never let us down; Mr. Elijah Agevi, Dr Abraham Korir, Mr. Richard Mogoko, Ms Irene Wasike, Mr. Oduor Ongwen, President Daniel Mogeni, Mr. Norman Magaya, Mr. John Ogutu Omondi, Mr. Hesbon Omondi, Mr. Daniel Masetu, Mr. Isaac Muraya and the entire team. Thank you.
And lastly, without the strategic support from The Public Service Transformation Department at the OPM, Akiba Uhaki Foundation, A Better World/SOF-DI, The Provincial Administration, the Town Clerks Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Eldoret and the entire Team of Technocrats from the various Government offices in Kenya, The Clean Kenya Campaign could not have been.
Thank you all as we gear towards The Massive Market Shut Down in Nairobi on the 10th October 2012.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50.
