Association Dikiri Ene Tego from Agudi Two in Wagungu brings women together to address waste management challenges in their community.
They organise regular clean up days, remove plastic waste from roadsides and waterways and provide practical guidance on safe disposal and recycling of household trash. Their work reduces pollution, prevents the spread of water borne diseases and builds awareness about the environmental and health consequences of poor waste handling.
By placing women at the centre of local action, they show how community solidarity can produce lasting environmental benefits.
