What we do
Environclean Community Group is an international non-profit social enterprise supporting people from diverse backgrounds protect and preserve the environment in which they live in.
Our work focuses on some of the most challenging issues that these communities especially those in developing worlds face today such as:
- Pathetic waste disposal & management
- Effects of unemployment and lack of basic skills
- Bad housing
- Acute shortage of welfare facilities & services
- Poor sanitation and unaffordable water & sanitation facilities
- Lack of adequate educational facilities e.g. schools
- Social isolation
Environclean supports our partners to
- Be able to reduce poverty,
- Strengthen capacity for self-help,
- Provide and nurture economic opportunities
- Information dissemination on relevant waste management strategies to disadvantaged communities.
We believe that access to skills for the youth & women communities is the key that will unlock Kenya’s potential. Environclean also believes that every person has a right to pursue happiness.
When Environclean came into the picture of Lunga Lunga slum communities, we found limited water and sanitation facilities, very poor hygiene practices and loads of garbage everywhere. Moreover, the youth had no hope due to lack of skills hence majority were unemployed and living a life of crime.
Today we have a center that is used by the community. Its a place of sanitation, skill training, education, enterprise and promotion of culture. Our work helps to restore the health, happiness and self-dignity of the youth & women, and makes a break from the past for the future generation.
