Garbage disposal in Kibera has been cited as a challenge in conserving the environment and maintaining a cleaner community. However a section of young people have now taken the role of carrying out weekly cleanups and in return earn a source of income to help change the mentality of irresponsible waste disposal.Check out our latest pictorial story as highlighted by Sumaya and Veronique. #KiberaNewsHub.

Residence of Kibera are strugling with poor disposal of garbage. The dumping sites which are nearby the houses are the source of air and water pollution.Therefore endangering the health of the residence. Youths in Kibera are trying to find a way to address the issue by collecting garbage from households. Apart from trying to creating a better environment for people to live in, it is also a way to make a living by charging residence a fee of 20 to 50 shillings per month and by selecting plstics which they sell.
Aujourd'hui, nous avons rendez-vous avec l'homme qui a lancé cette initiative avec ses fils. Il raconte son histoire à Sumaya puis nous suivons leur itinéraire de collecte des déchets en plastique.
L'une des nombreuses décharges de Kibera
Surchargée, la cariole est poussée vers le centre de pesage. Sur la route, on passe devant d'autres décharges...
D'autres jeunes attendent aussi pour peser leur récolte et en récolter le payment. C'est une dame qui gère à l'intérieur. Elle fuit notre appareil photo.
