Faith

“The plastics recycling plant will greatly boost our income and create employment for young people in our slum thereby reducing the number of unemployed youth who idle around and can be easily lured into crime.”

Hope

“After sorting the garbage, we sell the plastics to middlemen who in turn take them to the manufacturers; however they exploit us because they know that we are desperate. This project will eliminate them from the equation and we will get our goods worth”

Dignity

“Choosing Mukuru as the site for the plant has restored our confidence and hope that the youth in Mukuru have not been forgotten. We have been given a chance to prove that we are not just about idling, receiving handouts or being involved in crime.”

Empowerment

“Once we set up the plant, we will buy plastics at a good price, then wash, pallet and mould for sale to manufactures. The profits from this will be shared out equally by the groups. Later on, we hope to have the youth directly operating the machines.”

“Our path ways will no longer be littered with human waste, we will now have a nearby toilet for everyone including the children and women who experience problems especially at night when they can't walk to the toilets that are far away. In addition, we can have our community meetings in the meeting room”

“This is an innovative and practical initiative geared towards improving water and sanitation conditions within the informal settlements, giving alternative green and clean energy sources, as well as addressing social-economic needs of the people, an example of a best practice.”

“I am always afraid to walk a long distance to the toilet, but now we will have one nearby and am happy with that. We will also have water so I don’t have to walk far away when my mum sends me.”
