Unsustainable practices in fecal sludge, solid waste & industrial effluent management are a major cause of habitat loss along Nairobi River. Informal settlements along the river usually bear the brunt of the consequences
Nairobi River has suffered massive habitat loss due to effluent from industries, fecal sludge and solid waste
Informal settlements along the Nairobi River need to reclaim the river and its surrounding habitat
GSEP periodically mobilizes youth & residents for tree planting, river clean up and wetland restoration exercises
Gospel Artiste, Mr. Seed (far right) is an asset when it comes to mobilizing youth
Planting materials are ferried to the site
GSEP sources planting materials that are indegenous to the target habitat
Clean up exercises are also essential as unchecked solid waste most likely ends up in the river
