ACTIVITIES

Taka ni Pato (TNP) creates jobs for several youth groups who collect trash from homes in the community, recycling and composting what they can, and combining trash heaps for reusable materials to make crafts. TNP trained six youth groups consisting of up to sixty members each on how to generate income by collecting trash, sorting, and selling recyclables products. Over time the efficiency of these groups continues to increase, as do their business skills. Over 2,000 tons of garbage and waste were removed from Kibera by TNP in 2006. Sixty-seven youth are currently active participants in TNP, and since its inception, nearly 200 youth have been involved.
