Hello supporters, friends and supporters-to-be,

Thank you to our generous donors for continuing to support this highly impactful project, which continues to fight plastic pollution in Nairobi. However, we still need more financial support to keep this project moving- so please continue to give generously.

We have lots of exciting updates since our last report…

Chemolex have continued to engage the youth with fighting plastic pollution through organising regular school talks
Progress has been made at the riverside sites in Nairobi- check out the progress pictures below!
The production of bricks made of plastic waste has accelerated, with bricks being used across multiple dump sites
A new hydraulic plastic capture device has been made by Chemolex
Former river dumping sites are now becoming lucious green spaces for the communities to enjoy!

... And this is only the beginning! So, what can you do to help continue to support this project?
