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.

Sofia Clean up Campaign

Dear Friends,
We hosted the last of our Clean-up Campaigns for this year at Sofia in Majengo today. There was some confusion when some vested interest decided to course confusion yesterday and informed the residents of Sofia that our Clean-up will be at Gikomba Area. They even took the working tools we were supposed to use.
At the outset, we want to thank the Level 1 Communications for documenting The Sofia Clean up Campaign. This is the beginning of Level 1 Communication documenting all our events with a view to helping create a mass Campaign.
This is Nairobi today
This prompted some residents to go to Gikomba and to their chagrin nothing was taking place there.
However, the Clean-up went on smoothly and the area residents organized themselves very quickly and with the little equipment we had, we did some good job. All the photos have been posted to our Facebook Pages.
Residents of Sofia came out in good numbers
Sofia is changing and we are happy. The residents are fired up and they want the relevant Government Departments and the City Council of Nairobi to play their part as we all join hands in making Kenya Clean.
It was a little bit depressing to encounter human waste in the waste stream and this is something the residents said they will guard against from now on.
This old lady was a real inspiration
This also means, the Government must now step in and help with Service Provision. We can turn Kenya around if we all put our mind into it.

At the same time, the Business Students at Masinde Muliro University and the Social Workers joined with the Municipal Council of Kakamega for a major Clean-up in Kakamega sponsored by the Cooperative Bank. This is a positive sign and all we are inviting Kenyans to is; Let us join hands and make Kenya Clean. 
Later in the day, we encountered impunity on our Roads first hand when a Nissan Matatu KBA 484H plying Route 46 blocked the road in Kawangware and when Sungu asked him to align himself well on the road, he asked Sungu to mind his own business. We then minded our business as responsible citizens.

We took the photo of the offending vehicle and reported the matter to the Traffic Commandant Mr. Ben Kibue and we were impressed by their prompt action. The offending driver was arrested and the Deputy Traffic Commandant Nairobi Mr. Katana invited us to Nairobi Area Traffic Headquarters to verify.
We must applaud the Traffic Commandant and his team for their prompt action. Kenyans must join hands to bring back sanity on our Roads.
A more cleaner Drainage in Sofia

Let us Move From Talking to Tasking as we Stay with the Issues garbage.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya and a Clean Africa as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50 in Kenya.
