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.

KCDN formerly constituted- 30th May 2013

Dear Friends and Members,
The Kimisho Community Development Network- KCDN was formerly constituted today when a Team of Eminent Persons sharing in the same vision met under the Chairmanship of Bishop Johannes Angela- the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Bondo.
Seated L-R; Mr. Fanuel Odhiambo- Commissioner of Cooperatives, Mr. Odhiambo T Oketch- Executive Director- KCDN, Bishop Johannes Angela- Bishop ACK Bondo Diocese. Standing L-R; Mr. Fred Banja, Mr. Manasseh Ong'wen, Dr Florence Achungo, Mr. Joseph Kwaka, Ms Janet Awino, Mr. Leonard Obidha and Mr. Caesar Asiyo
It was a very exciting moment for the entire Board, for today, we have formerly launched a vehicle that will drive the Three Pillars we have always believed in, namely;
  1. Environmental Management,
  2. Economic Empowerment, and
  3. Poverty Eradication.
The Board of KCDN will comprise of the following persons;
  1. Chairman; Bishop Johannes Angela
  2. Board Member; Sen Prof Peter Anyang' Nyong'o
  3. Board Member; Mr. Joseph Kwaka
  4. Board Member; Mr. Caesar Asiyo
  5. Board Member; Dr Florence Akinyi Achungo
  6. Board Member; Ms Janet Winnie Awino
  7. Board Member; Mr. Manasseh Ong'wen
  8. Board Member; Mr. Fredrick Banja
  9. Secretary and Executive Director; Odhiambo T Oketch
The Board also discussed the Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd and further details will be announced in due course. We want to develop structures upon which the Sacco will run because we are keen in making some fundamental and monumental changes on how we have been doing things, principally touching on attitude change.
This is going to come with several Educational Initiatives, Capacity Buildings and Exchange Programmes that will be beneficial to our Members.
During our 1st Board Meeting we got very insightful guidance from the Commissioner of Cooperatives and the Secretary to the Poverty Eradication Commission. We had deliberately invited them to take us through the ropes and make us understand what setting up a Sacco entails and more so, what it takes to fight for Poverty Eradication. We are truly indebted to these State Officers for sharing their valuable insights.
Later in the afternoon, I met with Ms Suzzana Owiyo, to put into proper perspective the up coming World Environment Day activities. Suzzana and a Team of Women Celebrities will be joining in the World Environment Day by hosting the Soko Bila Waste Campaign. We will be at Wakulima Market on the 5th June 2013 as from 7.00am and it will be exciting watching Suzzana and a team of Women celebrities vending their wares at the Market. This will be followed by a Clean up at the Market.
We are inviting several Partnerships and we will be communicating this in good time.
We at KCDN and The Clean Kenya Campaign- TCKC do firmly believe that we can make our Markets and Neighbourhoods clean if we so wish. To this extent, we will be Partnering with The Suzzana Owiyo Foundation, the Media Personalities and Corporates to drive the Soko Bila Waste Campaign across all our 47 Counties.
Let us join hands and work for a Clean Kenya as we celebrate our 50 years of Independence.
