Where the work happens

Rooted in Kibera, working across Kenya.

The work began in Kibera in 2020 — and continues there alongside schools, households, and women's cohorts in counties across the country.

The mix of urban informal-settlement work and rural county work is part of what makes the project distinctive: the same circular model, adapted to very different places.

How we measure

Counted, not estimated where we can help it.

Waste is weighed at the hubs; harvests and cohorts are logged through the year. Some totals — like meals supported — are reasoned from household and cohort data, and we're formalising the method with partners as the work grows.
