Today we visited a project sponsored by YWCA-Kisumu. The project is lead by a group named BAMATO. After the post election violence some people were left without a place to live. BAMATO helped these to start their own buissness, or gave them the opurtunety to earn some money by working for the group. The main program of the group is to recycle plastic. They pay 15 Kennian shillings per kg with used plastic waste. They sort the different types of plastic, and then they make new things out of it. They make everything from jewlries to curtains and baisens. I think this is such a good idea. In Kisumu the wate- collecting system is not well developed. This group helps people to earn money at the same time as they keep the environment clean. It’s fantastic! Don’t waste the waste.
There is some processing before the plastic will be used for all that you describe, I suppose. Hopefully with little waste from the process.
