INTRODUCTION.
• Dajopen Waste
Management was started to
address the Socio-
Economic, Environmental
conditions of the vulnerable
communities of the Slums,
the Youth & Women , while
addressing the plight of
small scale farmers through
making of organic fertilizer
and other recycled products
from waste.
• With the support
from Kenya
Agricultural &
Livestock Research
Organization (KALRO)

TRAINING/PROCESSES
Training the Youth & Women Casing the organic fertilizers

BENEFITS/IMPACT
• Through BEACON empowerment, we were able to have more farmers to use
organic fertilizer which has led to increased soil fertility and high crop yields
and high water retention which assist the crop to withstand rain shortage and
root aeration due to the organic Bio-mass(carbon).
• The project focuses on the environmental, social economic challenges to the
community especially from the slum areas using collected garbage for
economic purposes and in process reduce solid waste streams that breed toxic
material and pathogenic organisms into dumpsites and land fills thereby
contaminating land and surface water.

A CASE STUDY
OUR ACTIVITIES HAS LED TO MORE FARMERS EMBRESSING USE OF ORGANIC
FERTILIZER IN PRODUCING HIGH YIELDS FROM DIFFERENT CROPS SUCH AS
THE BANANA PLANTATION ABOVE

IMPORTANT ASPECT
OF THE PROJECT
• The project cleans and conserves the environment, while it keeps
the Estates and other areas habitable as per HIC policy. This will
ensure our homes are free from diseases like malaria, typhoid and
cholera which are caused by the mosquitoes, flies and rodent in
the garbage heaps.
• It corrects the soil acidity, whereby 5grams of organic fertilizer has
scientifically proven of having 6 billion microbial lives, thus enables
the soil to release nutrients which increases the crop yield. Besides
high crop yield, it also assists the crop to withstand abiotic and
biotic factors, while changing the soil from disease inducing to
disease suppressing soil

CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION
Training the youth how to
transfer the seedlings
from the nursery to the
sockets, by using A
dibbler. The trees aids in
mitigating the climate,
while sinking the carbon
from the atmosphere.

TREE PLANTING
It is carried out by the
community and especially
women in a riparian areas,
to conserve ecosystem
while mitigating climate

METAL WASTE
From the Urban and Slums’ waste, we collect assorted metal waste. A good
example is a simple hand Maize Sheller above, has enabled small scale farmers
to shell high quality maize kernel for storage.

I invite you to join me to increase
farm productivity through the use
of Lets go natural
together and make this a reality!!
