Friends,
Kounkuey Design Initiative -www.kounkuey.org will be hosting a ground breaking ceremony tomorrow the 15th September 2012 at Lindi/Laini Saba in Kibera for their 4th site that they have reclaimed from garbage and filth.
In the place, a beautiful sanitary block and some social amenities will be erected for the benefit of the locals. KDI has partnered with three groups to design, construct, and manage the new Productive Public Space: SlumCare, Usalama Bridge Youth Reform, and Ndovu – Laini Saba/Lindi Development Group.

KDI is composed of a Team of Volunteers from the United States of America and they are concerned, just like we are, that a Clean and Better Kenya is possible. This will be the 4th site their are reclaiming and turning into Productive Public Space.
During the cleaning process last Saturday the 8th September 2012, the City Council of Nairobi was present in her full capacity to help give direction to the reclamation process. We must sincerely thank Mr. Marion Kainga who stood in ably for the Director of Environment.
The Clean Kenya Campaign is happy to be associated with these groups turning Kibera around. This is the Clean Kenya we are talking about and we want to invite as many people who may join with us tomorrow to do so.
Kenya will not attain some clean status by itself. It must be some concerted efforts from all of us and from our Friends. It is with this in mind that I want to also publicly acknowledge and appreciate A Better World/SOF-DI for the continued support they have extended to The Clean Kenya Campaign.
Ms Brigitte Frey has been one very consistent supporter and believer in what we are doing at The Clean Kenya Campaign, and her support to us has always given us the edge and the drive to continue.
A Better World/SOF-DI has written to me and pledged their structured support to The Clean Kenya Campaign beginning this Month. Their support will pay for our office rent and support a few logistical and Administrative issues every quarter.
A Better World/SOF-DI- www.sofdi.com is engaged in improving the sanitary conditions of many people in Western Kenya especially in Kisa and Emuhaya through sustained organic farming.
The two cornerstones of SOF-DI's activities are the transfer of knowledge for the sustainable production of sufficient and healthy food supply by means of organic farming and for providing adequate access to clean water.
Please visit their website and see how The Frey Family is using their Family Resources for the good of Kenya and Kenyans.

Such are the Friends we need in Kenya. And The Frey Family have gone a step and joined as Key Partners in The Clean Kenya Campaign. It is also important to note that Ms Brigitte Frey sits as a Member of The Board of Trustees at The Clean Kenya Campaign.
I want to appreciate the many Friends of The Clean Kenya Campaign, men and women whom I harrass for support everyday, and true to their belief, they never let us down; Mr. Elijah Agevi, Dr Abraham Korir, Mr. Richard Mogoko, Ms Irene Wasike, Mr. Oduor Ongwen, President Daniel Mogeni, Mr. Norman Magaya, Mr. John Ogutu Omondi, Mr. Hesbon Omondi, Mr. Daniel Masetu, Mr. Isaac Muraya and the entire team. Thank you.
And lastly, without the strategic support from The Public Service Transformation Department at the OPM, Akiba Uhaki Foundation, A Better World/SOF-DI, The Provincial Administration, the Town Clerks Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Eldoret and the entire Team of Technocrats from the various Government offices in Kenya, The Clean Kenya Campaign could not have been.
Thank you all as we gear towards The Massive Market Shut Down in Nairobi on the 10th October 2012.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50.
