Installed Bins In Mukuru Kwa Ruben Serving Residents

Up to 3,200 waste bins have been installed in Mukuru Kwa Ruben slum, and are currently in use, serving over 7000 households and businesses’


Youth volunteers from Mukuru Oasis Youth group have been put in charge of taking care of the bins, in terms of emptying them regularly and making sure they are in good condition.

Organic wastes from the bins have been able to be recycled and used as mature for planting crops, which has been a source of income for the youth.

Map Kibera is proud to have been part of this project, and we are all looking part to being part of replica of this projects in other parts.
