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.

These are Flagship Programmes for The Clean Kenya Campaign that will involve as many Kenyans with the University Students, Lecturers and the Religious Leaders in a massive programme that will bring Kenyans back to issues of leadership based on Chapter 4 and 6 of our Constitution. 
We cannot forsake our Education at a time when Kenya really needs salvation. We must all rise up and be counted.
The coming General Election must be fought on issues that will drive Kenya forward as we champion for Peace, Credibility and Good Governance. We must rally Kenyans to reject money, greed, tribalism and impunity as key determinants at the ballot.
The week ending.
Ø  The week that just ended had similar engagements for TCKC. We had engagements with university students and we have since formed University Students for A Clean Kenya as a Forum on Facebook and in practice. We have so far reached 2,200 members within 5 days and we are growing. This is a Forum for all those who have Post Secondary Education across Kenya.
Ø  TCKC also hosted a strategic meeting with Akiba Uhaki Foundation at our offices to discuss further partnership as we continue our programmes especially the implementation of resolutions of The 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management held at the KICC on the 28th August 2012.
Ø  In the same week, A Better World-SOF/DI continued her support to TCKC as discussed with Ms Brigitte Frey.
Ø  The Tetra Pak waste packages recycling in partnership with the Ministry of Environment and several CBOs is on course and discussions on piloting are being fine tuned at the Ministry.
Ø  We have also initiated dialogue with Universities in the USA on Comprehensive School Health Education. We are reaching out to our partner Ministries of Education, Environment and Higher Education to deliberate further on this. Professor Martin Ayim and Mr. Udoma Ohiri are our key point-men on this great initiative for Africa. They are from Cameroon and Nigeria respectively, but both are working in the USA.
Ø  The Wakulima Market Cleanup took place on 26th October 2012 as part of our market cleanup campaign in partnership with market traders and City Council of Nairobi. Muthurwa was the first to be cleaned on the 10th October 2012 in partnership with the Market Traders and TNA and a level of cleanliness is being maintained by the market traders.
Ø  On the 27th October, Pumwani Youth Groups Network-PYGRON together with TCKC, St John's Community Centre and Hon Yusuf Hassan undertook a cleanup and awareness campaign in Pumwani Majengo. We will begin piloting on waste recycling training with PYGRON next month among other groups. We are happy that Hon Yusuf pledged to work with TCKC to implement this in order to create opportunities for the youth by empowering them with skills. This is what the youth groups asked of their MP. They were very categorical that they do not want to be given handouts but “miradi”.

Ø  Tomorrow, 30th October 2012 TCKC will be part of Inuka Kenya forum at YMCA deliberating on waste management.

Ø  In the course of this week, we will also have a meeting with our other key partner, Public Service Transformation Department at the Office of the Prime Minister to review progress made so far.
Ø  We are also in discussions with Florida A&M University and Florida State University through Professor Barack Abonyo, where we are discussing a variety of areas including research on waste management, training, exchange programs and producing literature on waste management.
Ø  We will also be hosting within the week Madam Lorna Rutto of EcoPost on how we can make greater impact on recycling of plastics into poles and structure a process of recycling to include CBOs. She was on KTN TV recently.
