Kondele and Umoja Clean up Campaigns in March

Friends,
On the 2nd March 2012, we will be meeting with the Opinion Leaders from Kondele Estate in Kisumu for an awareness Campaign on Separation of Waste at Source. The meeting will start at 10.00am and the Local Leaders are already mobilizing Stakeholders to attend.
During this Forum, we will be inviting the residents to join us in Separation of Waste at Source in various components that will prove the adage that Waste is Wealth. We will be inviting the participation of the Youth and Women into this as a viable employment opportunity and we are already in discussions with the various Waste Convertors on the best way forward.
On the 9th March 2012, we will again host The Consultative Forum at Kondele with more partners. During this Forum, we will drive the three Thematic Areas that anchor The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign;

1. Environmental Management; where we will be inviting Kenyans that a Clean Kenya starts with Me.
2. Peace Building; where we discuss the need for us to live in harmony as One People Under God, and
3. Good Governance; where we invite active participation of Kenyans in deciding our destiny as a Country.

On the 13th March 2012, we will be meeting with Stakeholders in Umoja to help plan for the World Clean-up Day which we will celebrate at Umoja Estate.
On the 17th March 2012, we will join with the residents of Kondele in Kisumu for the Clean-up Campaign. On the same date, the leaders and opinion leaders at Kongowea Market will again join with the Municipal Council of Mombasa, Coast Women in Development, International Republican Institute, KCDN and any other willing partner in cleaning Kongowea Wholesale Market.
On this same date, Friends of KCDN will join with Kenyans across the Country in cleaning our neighbourhoods. A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is Possible.
Then on the 24th March 2012, we will join in the World Clean-up Day at Umoja Estate in Nairobi.
If you are in these areas and you want to participate, please get in touch.
In the meantime, we are in various discussions with Friends of KCDN to see how best to make this Months Calender to be a success. We are hence, as we have done in the past, inviting your support, partnership and participation with us in this Journey of Hope across Kenya.

Kisumu and Umoja Clean-ups in March 2012

Friends,
We have shifted our Focus to Kondele in Kisumu and Umoja Estate in Nairobi as our Focal Points for the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign in March 2012.
We have been in discussions with leaders from these two Regions and our schedules will be as follows;

1. 2nd March 2012; Awareness Campaign of separation of waste at source at Kondele in Kisumu
2. 9th March 2012; The Consultative Forum with Stakeholders at Kondele in Kisumu
3. 13th March 2012; The Consultative Forum with Stakeholders at Umoja Estate in Nairobi- in partnership with the Nairobi Central Business District Association
   
4. 17th March 2012; Massive Clean-up Campaign at Kondole in Kisumu
5. 24th March 2012; the World Clean-up Day at Umoja Estate in Nairobi.

We are happy with the Friends of KCDN who have stepped forward in their continued efforts at supporting The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign. A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya will not happen by itself. It needs men and women who are tough as steel, people who can withstand the constant pressures that are associated with the mobilization process.
We want to sincerely appreciate the support we have continued to receive from the Friends of KCDN, the Public Service Transformation Department, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, UNEP, the various Local Authorities in Kenya, the Akiba Uhaki Foundation, A Better World from Switzerland, the Nairobi Central Business District Association and the members of the KCDN Board. We are truly thankful for all your support.
We at KCDN are equal to the task and we have proved time and again that we do what we say. This is a resolve we are assuring all Friends of KCDN that we will maintain and at the end of the day, a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya will be achieved.
We are happy that many Kenyans are organizing themselves in their neighbourhoods and teaming up to Clean their areas. This is one thing we want to stress and we will not tire in inviting for your continued Support, Partnership and Participation in this Campaign.
Lastly, in the fullness of time and at our own discretion, we will update the list of Partners in our website. All the Friends of KCDN, Institutions, Corporates and any other Donor to KCDN are well briefed and they have no problem with this intentional delay on our part to update the list of our Partners.
