I was born at gorogocho and after my late mum find it difficult to raise me due to luck of job she ended up at this dump site ,six children as a single mum it wasn't easy for her, I wish she was alive today she would truly enjoyed the fruit of her labour.
Great video as always. This clearly show a total failure by the government to deal with a simple situation. This clearly show that this is a clear case of corruption. Really sad.
Let Kenyans normalize going back to the village and picking up the pieces,aki what kind of life is this ATI uko Nairobi 😥 si Kwa ubaya aki, look at those older mamas😥God bless them
Thanks for the info. May God remember all who scavenge here to earn their daily bread cause if corruption was not with everyone then these people could not be here. We have so many graduates who have no jobs. It is better to b here rather than being educated and jobless.
That Bedford truck KPE still earning its keep,feel sorry for the young boy doing his hustle at the dump site may God protect him and bless the work of his hands
Nice informative video. If all the truck drivers must pay security to the gang then it does not make sense that it is under management of the county government of Nairobi! The gangs ndio kusema tu! You pay offloading fee and the same gangs make money out of what has been dumped😡🤔!
Developed countries make trash recycling and make the country cleaner and environmentally friendly why not Kenya do it so, this is a lot of wasting time and money it can help employ many young people in that field.
If this was done nicely it could be a good thing! But the government is ignoring this! The ones who are doing this aren’t protected and they suffering even more! Drugs, air pollution is all that is seen!
Frankly, this problem with waste mafias is almost everywhere. In Europe, conditions are not so harsh for the locals, but, for example, hundreds of tonnes of rubbish are illegally exported from Germany every month. That figure is just the tip of the iceberg, which has been discovered by the police or journalists; nobody knows the whole situation.
The issue can be fixed by city governments. It’s affecting job opportunities for Kenyans when government fail to create laws. I have worked for garbage companies and this is a multi billion business.
Snakes also get dumped as they were previously hiding in skips and boxes. So, it's filthy dangerous. Maybe, for some it's worth it short term but reality is, the risks to health and life is not worth it.
😂. They have no choice my friend. It's make the least or no house or food. This is 3rd world, 1st or 2nd world practices dont apply, not even closely apply.
Same here , grew up in Dandora and used to frequent boma to get toys, sweets etc. Often found dumped foetuses and human remains. Still have nightmares sometimes.
Boma!! This used to be my family,s source of income. I recall a load dumped in 1981....more than 13 dead bodies from the hospital,mixed with the food! We only saw the bodies after going through our food. ....it's been a long journey folks. I totally understand and respect the workers there.
I believe one day Kenyans will flock and flood here to appreciate your incredible job
I agree. Unfortunately most people are into comical content not educative
Thanks Enock Sikolia. This what we call progressive journalism.
Enoch you are doing a great job.May God protect this wonderful human beings out there.
Extremely informing about where we need to correct as a country.

Am not where I want to be but surely Gods finger can move mountains. I was also one of those kids scavenging for family and self survival.
Me too.. some of the faces in this segment are familiar to me
Government should consider setting up a recycling plant and give these people jobs
Excellent vlog 👍

I watched about these dumpsites at a certain film on youtube called Zombies of Nairobi and it was sad.
Let me watch it. Nairobi has a lot of people suffering... ignored by the who and who in the city.

Hata ma cho za Nairobi kuna vita Kali za mavi!

@Johnson Sakaja. If you don't do anything else for Nairobi, handle this one headache, and you'll be a winner.
We ni mnoma bro🙏🏼🙏🏼💯
Japan were ready to construct a recycline plant but our goverment official plus NEMA keep hinding from the matter.
Corruption
We need to Industrialise our country to move this people from this sort of struggles
I used to work there almost 5 years
This dump site has to be closed and government to building living , Learning and working Premises and give those people better living its possible..
Wah, the cartels are powerful
Kenya ni nchi bure Kabisa

Because of Cartels.
Like you said developed country Kenya is not

We need to start recycling this waste into renewable energy.

BOMA..I USED TO GO THERE BACK IN THE DAYS,NAS AND JKIA USED TO DUMP VALUABLE THINGS..IT WAS A DANGEROUS AFAIR,,HOSPITAL WASTE WAS LIKE 40%
Same here , grew up in Dandora and used to frequent boma to get toys, sweets etc. Often found dumped foetuses and human remains. Still have nightmares sometimes.
Mee too mate.. Nas aka chombo used to feed us..thank God I don't have to depend on that anymore
Boma!! This used to be my family,s source of income. I recall a load dumped in 1981....more than 13 dead bodies from the hospital,mixed with the food! We only saw the bodies after going through our food. ....it's been a long journey folks. I totally understand and respect the workers there.
