Our local partner, Komb Green, improves the environment and promotes economic and social development among Kenyan youth. They train and empower young people by enhancing their livelihoods and advocating for environmentally friendly policies.

Komb Green was established in 2017 in Korogocho. They clean up the river and create mini parks on the banks with trees, vegetable gardens, and playgrounds for children. Despite challenges such as the presence of sharp objects that can harm volunteers‘ skin, Komb Green’s 40 volunteers lacked safety gear for their cleanups and often cut their feet in the river. They also developed skin diseases from standing in the water for hours during cleanups. To address this, we provided funds for 40 waterproof safety overalls, gum boots, and gloves to enable them to clean the river more safely.
