01.01 Décrivez votre projet en détail

Naisola Kids is a visionary initiative where environmental stewardship meets education and nutrition. Here, 5kg of recyclables become a currency, valued at KES 100, unlocking the doors to a library that’s more than just books. It’s an evening and weekend haven for assignments, but also a vibrant space where animations spark imaginations, and dance, digital literacy, and sports workshops shape skills. In this eco-hub, every recycled item is a step towards sustainability, teaching children the value of protecting our planet. But Naisola Kids doesn’t stop there. With each 5kg contribution, learners receive not just knowledge, but also a fruit and a nutritious porridge drink, ensuring they have the energy and nutrition they need to thrive. This initiative addresses a critical gap in our education system. Children under 13 are often left with untapped potential, their developmental years slipping by without adequate learning opportunities. Naisola Kids fills this void, offering a creative

Providing educational services to 80% of young girls below 13 years in rural and informal settlements against discrimination based on age, gender, ethnic or racial group, disability status, sexual orientation, migratory status, residence or other factors serves to disadvantage some individuals in many different and often invisible ways, throughout their lives. Also, to the local female waste operators through provision of jobs in the circular economy.

05.08 Justification de mon projet

The model of the project is an innovation where merging recyclables and educational and sports services for 80% of young girls in rural and informal settlements. The recyclables are slowly gaining popularity as revenue sources and including local female waste operators is a great idea to provide them with a decent working environment in efforts to reduce inequalities as they are most vulnerable to crises.

05.09 Qui sont vos principaux potentiels concurrents et qu'est-ce qui vous différencie d'eux ?

Most educational programs/projects are using hard cash as the primary source of finances which is becoming scarce. My model of trading recyclables for finances will stand out as single-use, non-hazardous waste is readily available and few have harnessed the wealth in it. Also, the model guarantees it's sustainability. The involvement of local female waste operators is a win as most project sponsors/ donors are looking into women's empowerment for development.

10.06 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

Yes, the model will employ local female waste operators: aggregators and recyclers. Currently working with grassroots groups in Kajiado to promote education among young girls in efforts to reduce retrogressive cultures as early pregnancies and marriages, FGM and lack of education.
