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.

Carelessness; a serious disease afflictng us

Friends,
Carelessness is the disease that is surely afflicting us as a Nation.
Many people do not care. We do not care how we elect our leaders. 
We do not care what our children are instructed on in school.
We do not care how we take care of our neighbourhoods.
We do not care how we drive on our roads.
And sadly, we do not care when our neighbours are hurting.
I want to share 3 photos with you today. In this first photo, the residents of Mbotela in Nairobi do not care how and where they throw their waste;
Carelessness and lack of leadership in Mbotela 
Then, we have this small breed of Kenyans who are paid to clean after our carelessness;
The City Council of Nairobi employee doing the most noble thing; making our Town Clean
Lastly, we have this massive group of Kenyans who believe that a Clean Kenya is possible, not just with the next leadership, but now;
Kenyans joining in working for a Clean Kenya. Otieno Sungu of The Clean Kenya Campaign leads through action at Kibera on the 8th September 2012 
Now, we can do better.
Following the successful hosting of The 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management on the 28th August 2012 at the KICC, many Teams and Groups from across Kenya have been reaching to us, appreciating what we are doing and offering that we partner with them in their various regions.
We are humbled by these emails and phone calls and it is with this in mind that we will be working with the Nairobi Market Traders Society, the City Council of Nairobi, the Provincial Administration, the Media and several other groups to help Clean all the 53 Markets in Nairobi on the 10th October 2012 in what we have dubbed; Massive Market Shut Down in Nairobi.
There are several things we want to do on this day, and your support and partnership, in whatever way, will be important.
The Markets are lacking in 5 Key Areas;
  1. Water- Most of these 53 Markets do not have Water. What can you do to help them access water?
  2. Electricity- Most of these 53 Markets do not have Electricity. What can you do to help them access Electricity?
  3. Paint- Most of these Markets are not Painted. What can you do to help us paint these Markets?
  4. Carpeting- The floors to most of these Markets need re-Carpeting. How can you help?
  5. Drainage- Most of these Markets have blocked Drainages. How best can you help us sort this small mess?
These are weighty issues that we must join hands and help sort out; the Councils, the Government, the Corporates, the Media and the People.
If you feel that you can help us make a difference, kwa vyo vyote vile, kindly get in touch and be part of The Clean Kenya Campaign Team.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50.
