Kenya: Cleaning up the Nairobi River | Global Ideas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- The river that runs through the Kenyan capital once teemed with life. Today it’s the most polluted waterway in the country. Together with young residents from the city’s informal settlements, Frederick Okinda is working to change that.

I respect them for trying to solve their own problems
@literally not z 😅😅😅😅 I don't think the Detroit people knew the water was poisoned the only time they knew the water was poison when they were getting sick!
@literally not z How is that relevant?
Wow whoooooopie dooooooo
Loved what they are doing for their country. Keep clean this Planet Earth. And grow more trees. 🌳🌲
Anandita Reddy please watch 8 videos of Jim Nduruchi
I'm also Indian love Kenya people
hope we start such initiatives in india, i know i am gonna start a project soon.
Nairobi is such a badly managed city.....Those people are doing a great job.
I wish everyone was as committed, especially the government. I just wish. Kudos to all this amazing humans!

Wherever there is pollution or corruption. Government is the culprit.
@literally not z so there's no pollutions in Europe America and Asia ??
It's all due to uncontrolled population growth. It's going to get worse..
@@lakhibhangra5864 are u from india ?
@literally not z Trump supporters are not only racist but illiterate to lol.
@@lakhibhangra5864 It has nothing to do with population growth, its clearly the fault of a incompetent government.
Just like always, government letting the people down. What's the point with the government or paying tax then?
Our current governor is a gangster who doesn't even live in the city. Cleaning a river is far from his priorities. Slum dwellers overwhelmingly voted that person in too.
Every country should come together on a cleanup campaign. All countries responsible for cleaning up their own bodies of water etc.
That ain't no river that's a freaking open sewage line
Llike the Gowanas Canal here in New York!
Also every river in West Virginia.
Curiously the parts of it that are raw sewage begin where it flows near the CBD, through the industrial area and slums. Else the river is clean upstream.
and there still cleaning it up
@@pietrojenkins6901 they couldn't be washing if they had other sources of water. Thank God you have a better life than them

THIS IS WHATS NEEDED EVERYWHERE !! NOT FOOLISH " FANTASPACE" SPENDING , MAKE OUR WORLD CLEAN, HEALTHY , BEAUTIFUL !!
GOOD FOR YOU KENYANS !!
PEACE..............

I only wish the reporter went further downstream, there is a sewer line running along the river and yet raw sewage is still channeled directly to the river. The problem is with unplanned development, not that the city does not have zoning rules but the corrupt city officials will bend every rule as long as you are going to bribe them with money.
The water fall broke my heart deeply
My hat off for these environmental activists their task is not easy but its very admirable.
I just wanna say thank you to all who is cleaning up the trash from rivers and lakes and oceans and etc etc. Mother earth will surely thank you guys and gals in the long run.
These guys should definitely contact The Ocean Cleanup, they have some pretty impressive equipment which could give them a huge hand in cleaning up the Nairobi rivers.
I wish I could come there to help clean the river.
why not get the city to dredge the river, fence it, relocate folks living right off the beach, put laws with teeth in place about dumping into the river, arrest a few people, jail a few, plants some shrubs around it etc?
Still have memories of a clean Nairobi river and swimming in. Doof mpararo!
Ocean cleanup , work with garbage trash in river, they dont deal with sewage. They can't stop it from the river.
Start by putting the trash in ONE place called a " dump".we had them here in the 60s& 70s not ideal but a start
Dumps exist in Nairobi. It's not where the waste is going, it's rather, the collection that's the issue. No one is collecting the waste from the slums
Government please increase tax on plastic products
Best of luck with this! I'm not aware of many Cdns willing to meet challenges like this.
Love to Kenya from turkey
That waterfall at the end made me sad 😞
A good video from DW news
Yes, finally a very good one indeed.
Start from the source of the garbage and the buildings with sewer lines which are dumping it raw into the river please
The government need to help ,stop dumping in the river,you are doing a good job.keep it up.
People depend to much on the government to do what they can do themselves.
Yes, because they need the gov to make a landfill.
Great job guys you are doing the best with what you got
LatinoMexican, keep this earth clean and there environments

Reminds me of the Citarum in Indonesia.
Kenya hosts the Ganges of Afrika, Congratulations!
I like to be there in Kenia this is are big business recycling
The government of Kenya is too primitive to help it’s citizens
Congrats to the Kenyan people not waiting for the government
They are far better equipped than the ganges cleaners
Excelente trabajo. Gracias por compartir y tendrán frutos maravillosos. Son los mejores. 2022.
Thank You💖🧡💛💚💙💜
Amazing people all over the world.
good people of Kenya 🇰🇪, I wish you good luck from Israel 🇮🇱
They as a long way to go to keep it clean
Just amazing listening to these guys and how articulate they are.
Yes sir.
They touched my heart.
This is good work!
Please put the name of the organisation and a link in the video description.
My brother talk to me please
Good group, good citizens. The government doesn't send garbage trucks regularly, and half the population has no sewage system. I've seen videos like this of many developing nations, and the lack of waste management is always the source of the problem.
This can be a full time job,segmented into sections so that management is possible....and with no corruption this is sooo easy a government funded through environment branch of it.
Excellent!
Wow that water fall was nice
I hope they will get solve about this terrible trouble. Greeting from Spain.
When will people be responsible
Keep on doing it...
The government should attach water filter systems. Maybe something that can treat the water to make the water drinkable. The collected garbage should be recycled. Probably not gonna happen but I hope it does.
Great job .
YOU SHOULD ALSO LOOK INTO THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY OFFICIALS. I ALONG WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO IS WORKING HARD TO CLEAN UP THE WATERWAYS COMMEND MR. FREDERICK OKINDA. WHERE DOES THE GREENHOUSE WASTE GO??????
When the culture is just to throw the garbage on the streat. Garbage will be all over. Same problem here in moritania. Africa realy need a better ways to collect and destroy the garbage.
Burn it clean the smoke and make electricity.
Africans just need to style up
@@Kny-tn1mg culture takes minimum 1 generation to change. But it will slowly happen
You have to throw it somewhere if nobody collect a garbage. You want them to keep them around the house and inside the house? Burn it in the city and bad for you. It’s toxic
@@motherhoodsbeauty9279 people throw garbage where they make it.
Empty a bag of candy throw it where you stand, in shops just out the door
And right now they pile burn the trach the worst thing you can do.
Policies are there. Its just implementation.
These policies are very expensive only rich nations or nation with very small population have been able to succeed . Natural wetlands are best ways to reduce water pollution
😂😂😂😂 the activists are still waiting
A great awakening.
this is a Kenya I want and I shall find them and volunteer to work with them
@Out Of Context I am still looking
I am shocked. Thank God for the people who are trying to clean the river. I wish the govt. would assist. I believe once the area is clean if you dump trash etc. you should be fined. The govt. could also send a truck weekly to assist the community and send to a dumping site (landfill) and either bury it or burn it and also recycle what they can. A lot of Africa problem also consist of pollution. No disrespect. No one wants to visit a country were it has sanitation problems etc. If they rethink these issues Africa can make plenty of money. Many people want to come but crime, cleanliness is a major problem.
I am asking, where is all the rubbish coming from. The poor who live in these areas, are not the ones dumping and polluting the environment. To often we see plastics, fabrics, medical waste, industrial chemical, ending up in what is considered under developed nation where there no manufacturing or industries producing any of these. It is known that many European and other developed countries use certain countries in Africa, and southeast Asia as dumping ground for garbage. The poor is fighting a losing battle because the politician are powerless to do anything about it.
DW publicises the best stuff.
Am sad to report that the river is still as polluted as it was when this report came out. I wish it was a different outcome. Now we have people living on the wetlands and whenever it rains and floods people die. There is a plan ongoing for affordable social housing that is aimed at housing the people living in our slums.
Similar to Ganga India
They are heros plz countinue ur gd job
Contact the OCEAN CLEANUP there's so many comunities globally that could help this brave people!
Great commitment 👍
Doesn't look like they've even touched it
great job!
Wow... It's good that they started cleaning it.. Nice move Nairobians people
Keep growing
Did it matter that the people live in a slum?? You could also say they are concerned citizens helping their environment.
@literally not z who made it a slum?
i think it matters cause it shows the wish they have, even with no much means, to do good. it's not the same amount of courage/determination needed to clean with all materials/protections than with not much. this really shows dedication from them.
Get a net completely across
That helps no rush
I wonder if it would be easy to do this
What an example to other African countries, such as South Africa for example.
why is this not a government initiative? Bure kabisa!
The wananchi should take ownership of the river since they're the ones who do most of the pollution
slightly flawed logic, government owns instruments of power, wananchi dont!
@@faboge True but why wait for government that takes eternity to act while the wananchi can agree on a no dumping on the river policy. Some actions are more within our powers than the government. Just as you are incharge of the cleanliness in your own homestead the same holds true for the environment and community
I agree but you need government to formulate policy even if its Sonko's unhinged city government! If corruption was minimal, they would have raised alarm about the river's decay decades ago!
@@faboge But you are the govt. The day we learn to take initiative is the day we overcome some problems
Jakarta city should done the same.. they almost sink.
Doing God's work. 👏
People need to hold their leaders accountable, that's the only way.
Looks like whoever owns that land and building those greenhouses dont give a damn about the people they are affecting. Why would they build knowing there was a bird sactuary right there? Wicked.
Most of the land in Kenya is owned by a dozen wealthy families, most with political connections (I think three of the top landowners are former presidents and their families) which explains both why the government does not care and it’s not getting fixed. The laws and landowners are working together to keep the rich and powerful from consequences while everyone else suffers.
Amazing! How does one teach the uneducated people to take charge of their neighbourhood? Give them employment so at least their bellies are full. Then they will think about their damn neighbourhood!
Tiger [ worm ] toilets. All areas have a type of earth worm, build worm toilets.
Good job
Que bueno un sitio como la capital de Kenia muy turística que esté de esa forma es espantoso me alegro que lo limpien y conserven todo❤😊
Why did you throw all your litter and trash in the river? Look how much work it is to clean the river but great job. 👍👍👍🥰
There's no garbage service and no alternative to get basic goods without generating garbage.
Good job Guys
That waterfall looks like it belongs in a landfill 🤢
it's a start .
4 million folks and sewers for 2 million ,I couldn't imagine how that smells.
Spirited Away!
If the government not gonna manage the city than people should not pay tax, the end.
Atleast they understand their responsibility , may god help us too🙏 so that we can do the same
Any progress yet?
It a river not a dump.
At Least just throw your trash on the ground not in your water supply.
It is unfortunate that government officials neglect to their request for help.
Where do they put the trash they pull from the river? Do they burn it, if it is safe to? It's wonderful that they are taking pride in their beloved river. This was posted 10 months ago- I wonder what it looks like now and if their government did finally help them.
This is so turbulent for generation to come just sadly people have to do this it’s self
Well done to the people for starting the clean up! But it will be a lost battle if the gov does not help in setting strict regulations for those green houses and other polluting business AND most important for setting up garbage collection! There is money to be made in garbage as well.Use it for recycling or as fuel....technologies are there...and new opportunities. Good luck!
Education and money... 2things you need to have a clean invirement.
Every time i heared " but the gouvernment need to keep their promises" ....i do "HA!!!"
I will sub ppl who do these type of things. Make cleaning pollution popular
The gov officials take the money for themselves. Build a website for donations.
