History
After a trip in 2006 to a slum in Kenya and seeing first hand the hopelessness of
the situation and the untapped potential and opportunities, Caroline Kariuki
started to fundraise for an integrated waste management system raising £14,010
through Local corporate sponsors in Peterborough, UK and supporters like
Kitchen Table Charities, Allan & Nesta Ferguson Charity, Dorfred Trust, Mary
Webb Trust, Thomas Sivewright charity, Eleanor F Rathbone Trust, SMB
Charitable Trust, Radley Charity, Bower Trust, whose grants have made it
possible to undertake the project you will find outlined in this website.
Environclean Community Group (1120470) was registered as a charity with the
UK and Wales charity commission in August 2007. Unlike many charities,
Environclean’s UK administration costs are minimal. This means that nearly every
penny goes directly to support Environclean’s work Transforming lives among
disadvantaged communities in urban slums of Nairobi, Kenya. Whilst in Kenya,
Environclean’s staff and volunteers do not drive around in 4x4s, stay in expensive
hotels or put on grandiose conferences in expensive venues. Instead they live, eat
and travel with local people, thus forging closer links with communities and saving
costs. This will continue to be the approach of our work in the years to come.
Our sister Community Based Organisation (CBO), Studying Problems Fix-it (SPIF)
is a registered community based organisation under Ministry of Sports & Cullture
in Kenya (Registration No. 09415) in 2006. It is run by the Projects Evaluator,
Joan Kariuki and financial administrator, Nicolas Gatugi. They are all part-time
workers.
