The Aims & Objectives of the Group are:

- To identify, plan, harness resources for, and implement projects aimed at improving waste management and conserving the environment in Lamu
We are working together with the community and local officials, through education programmes and implementing practical projects, to achieve a cleaner Lamu, for everyone’s benefit. |

Projects to be implemented this year include a pilot project for the house to house collection of waste using donkeys, construction of mobile waste containers for residents to deposit waste, cleanup of unofficial dumping sites by Community and a project to tackle the plastic bags problem in Lamu. We also have an ongoing waste awareness education programme with schools and local groups.
