" The Millenuim fellowship will enable me to make my goal of creating a cleaner environment a reality. Through engaging with like minded people, I will find better ways of achieving my goal. Furthermore, it will offer me the chance to collaborate with other change makers, fostering mutual support as we strive to create a more equitable society and a better world overall. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Pick It Clean Kabarak (PICK)
This Project seeks to promote extended producer responsibility within Nakuru County. Due to insufficient bins and less segregated bins within the town and around school, most people end up littering. The project seeks to bridge the work done by recycling companies and the responsibility owed to the community by plastic producers. The main aim of the project is to establish segregated bins outside school.
