Amos Khaemba, a journalist at TUKO.co.ke, brings over four years of experience covering politics and current affairs in Kenya.
The launch brought together Nairobi County Woman Representative Hon. Esther Passaris, EBS, alongside Kenneth Kumi, Zoomlion Kenya’s Head of Operations for Nairobi, school Headteacher Wachira Kagunya, and Julius Were, a 2027 MP aspirant for the constituency.
Transforming Waste Into Agricultural Value
The farm is designed to demonstrate how organic waste collected from urban areas can be processed into nutrient-rich compost, easing the burden on overstretched disposal sites and supporting a circular economy model.
Rather than treating waste as a terminal problem, the project positions it as a recoverable resource with practical agricultural value.
Beyond composting, the facility is intended to function as a hands-on training hub for schoolchildren, youth, and women-led enterprises.
The project targets green skills development, entrepreneurship, and climate resilience through direct participation in composting and sustainable food production activities.
Mazingira Day Activities at Wangu School
As part of Mazingira Day commemorations, the launch included a school tour, corporate social responsibility engagement, and environmental awareness sessions within the school community.
Activities covered responsible waste disposal, recycling practices, and tree planting, with the aim of instilling conservation values in the next generation.
Zoomlion Kenya framed the initiative as evidence that meaningful environmental progress requires coordinated effort across the private sector, public leadership, and educational institutions.
The company’s operations in Nairobi span waste evacuation, market cleanups, and organic waste recovery programmes.
Zoomlion Kenya is a subsidiary of a broader Pan-African waste management operation with roots in Ghana, positioned around the principle of locally driven solutions to environmental challenges across the continent.
