A community-based organization in Nyalenda, Kisumu, Kenya, is successfully converting waste into economic opportunities through a new buy-back centre. The initiative, run by Amazing Grace Action CBO, directly connects waste collectors with recycling markets, fostering a circular economy. This approach not only addresses waste management challenges within the informal settlement but also generates income for local residents. The centre serves as a model for sustainable practices, demonstrating how waste can be a valuable resource. By streamlining the recycling process, the project improves the local environment and promotes economic empowerment. The buy-back centre highlights the potential of community-led solutions to address both social and environmental issues.
