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.

My Waste My Responsibility

Dear Friends,
The Governor of Nairobi City County Dr Evans Kidero will be hosting the Re-launching of The Monthly Clean-up Campaign in Nairobi on the 29th June 2013 at Huruma Sports Ground Nairobi in an event that will be graced by His Excellency the President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Cabinet Secretary- Environment, Water and Natural Resources Prof Judi Wangalwa Wakhungu, the Director General NEMA Prof Geoffrey Wahungu and many residents.
The event is being steered by the Governor and his Team at the Nairobi County and we at The Clean Kenya Campaign- TCKC want to sincerely congratulate the Team for this timely intervention. We also want to appreciate NEMA and her Partners for joining in and inviting the various Waste End Users to come and exhibit what they do with waste.

Lastly, we want to sincerely appreciate His Excellency the President for accepting to join with Kenyans in working for a Clean Kenya. With his participation, the question of Waste and Waste Management will get a sure short in the arm. This has been well perfected in Rwanda by President Paul Kagame. I know President Uhuru will be a sure constant face at all our National Clean-ups every Month.
We are happy that our effort has not been in vain. We have gone around the various Counties inviting Kenyans to join hands and work with the Government towards Waste Management. We are happy that our Governors have taken this up, and with the resources at their disposal, a Clean Kenya will be realized sooner.
To this extent, we will be hosting The National Forum on Waste Management in Nairobi on the 11th and 12th September 2013, where we will dialogue with all our 47 Governors, Senators and Stakeholders and work towards harmonizing The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign as a National Event to be hosted every 3rd Saturday of the Month simultaneously across all Kenya.

We will also be rooting for the introduction of the process of Separation of Waste at Source to make it easy for all Waste End Users to get clean waste for their production. Waste only becomes waste once it is wasted and soiled. If we isolate the same at source, we make it easy even for the waste handlers.
This is a dream coming true in our life times and we want to appreciate our Partners, Friends and Kenyans for joining with us in this Journey of Hope across Kenya and for having faith and confidence in us. It has not been easy, but we have been firm, consistent and faithful.
Lastly, I want to appreciate the following institutions for their continued support and for making us come this far;
  1. The Public Service Transformation Department
  2. The Nairobi City County
  3. The Provincial Administration
  4. The National Environmental Management Authority
  5. Akiba Uhaki Foundation
  6. A Better World/SOFDI
  7. Africa Youth Trust
  8. The Various Ministries we have worked with
  9. The Various Counties we have worked with
  10. and the Many Friends and Partners who had faith in us from all over
Let us all meet at Huruma Sports Ground on Saturday the 29th June 2013 and help make Kenya Clean.
