Clean a river in Migingo & stop plastic pollution

Clean a river in Migingo & stop plastic pollution

Organization information

Smart Villages Foundation

Location: Abingdon, United Kingdom

Summary

This project will clean up a polluted, refuse and plastic-filled stretch of the Mathare river in central Nairobi, Kenya, transforming what is currently a dumping ground for garbage into an urban garden where the community can meet, children can play safely, and where the community can grow vegetables to help their food security and livelihoods. This will also remove this garbage from the river system, allowing plastic and other items to be recycled instead of washing down into the Indian Ocean.
