We are thrilled to announce our successful partnership with various organizations, including Homa Bay County, USAID Western Kenya Project, Red Cross Society of Kenya Western Region, Civil Society Organization, GIZ, NEMA, Kenya Forest Services, DACCA, Green Organics, Asumbi TTI, World Vision, and Aluora Makare, during the Homa Bay town clean-up event held on June 5th to commemorate World Environment Day. The event was graced by notable figures such as Homa Bay County spokesperson Hon Rachel Ogutu, Chief Officer Environment Ronald Ogweno, and NEMA Homa Bay County director Mr. Josiah Nyandoro.

World Environment Day, designated by the United Nations, serves as a global platform to raise awareness and inspire action for environmental protection. As a key contributor to environmental preservation through our electronic waste management program and solar fishing energy championship, where we provide solar fishing lanterns to fishermen in the lakeside region, we are committed to collaborating with like-minded stakeholders in the eradication of plastic pollution. Our aim is to champion the principles of reuse, reduction, and recycling of electronic waste, demonstrated by our active participation in events like the World Environment Day commemoration.

Improper disposal of plastics and electronic waste poses a threat to life on land and in water. When these materials are washed into the lake by rain or discarded directly, they can lead to ingestion, suffocation, and entanglement of marine species, endangering the livelihood of fishermen and disrupting the ecosystem.

The Homa Bay town clean-up and tree planting project were of great significance to us as they align with our commitment to protect life below water and on land, as exemplified by our E-Waste project, EMobility initiatives, and WePower solutions. In addition to participating in the clean-up and tree planting activities, we were honored to provide reflector jackets, ensuring the safety of all participants. Being part of the Homa Bay County World Environment Day commemorations has also given us increased visibility as a key player in electronic waste management.

Through the Clean Up event, we empowered the Homa Bay town community to adopt behavioral changes in electronic waste disposal, embrace waste recycling, and take proactive steps in environmental protection. We firmly believe that collaboration is vital in creating a lasting impact, and we are eager to engage with more environmental stakeholders through similar events as we continue our mission to protect life below land and on water.
