Compassion Africa Initiative held a lively discussion with participants at the Greenspot Gardens, discussing the waste handling policies, processes and effects.
Winnie walked attendees through the handling using the Black Soldier Fly farming, which converts organic waste into high protein animal feed and nutrients-rich organic fertilizer, an option she's pursuing, at a low cost and space efficient manner, providing an income source to the engineer alongside a job opportunity.
Covering the waste status of Kiambu county as sample by Steve, the serving chair person of KIWAMA, attendees got the real image of waste daily generated, and the various policies the KIWAMA group abides to in efforts to achieve the same goal.
It involved a Question and Answer session where attendees had the opportunity to interact with the panelists, connect and share various ideas, opinions and options to exploit in the industry.
Unanimously the panelist highlighted waste from Textile sector, Sanitary products and Synthetic hair as unattended tragedy in the industry.
Waweru, the founder Green City Solutions took the attendees through the various opportunities of exploitation through his own story of shift from finance to self employment that has rendered employment to young generation at the various centers where waste has been transformed into a resource.
Come, join the movement and stay informed as our attendees did. We are proud to have a successful Beyond The Waste event and look forward to more ahead.
