Kasarani
Union Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 58 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 135 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, including native species selected by a local botanist. The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade. All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $400 goes: β€’ Signage and educational materials: $45 β€’ Native saplings and stakes: $300 β€’ Waste removal and skip hire: $55 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Sending strength, Maina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
