Projects for the community, by the community

We work to bring resources and opportunities to Mathare residents by connecting community groups and supporting projects in accessible spaces in Mathare. Whether this means connecting community groups with external funding sources, bringing local and international volunteers into Mathare, or collaborating with community groups on various projects, one idea guides all of our work – the idea that Mathare residents deserve to live healthy, happy, and sustainable lives. We are committed to contributing to that vision.

Crowdfunding Campaign

The river that runs behind KINATCO is one of the main rivers in Nairobi, and the most polluted. The state of the Mathare river is unfortunately polluted and unusable. MaSCA is leading a project to rehabilitate the Mathare River and its surroundings by engaging local youth in clean-up activities, landscaping, community infrastructure development, and the creation of sustainable sanitation and waste management systems. The project involves waste management, scenic restoration, soil conservation, landscaping, and the development of parks, trails and infrastructure like benches and outdoor meeting spaces – all while engaging youth in the design and implementation.
