Our main partner in this project is VICCO (Viwandani Comprehensive Community Organization). This is a local CBO formed by the residents who have lived there all their lives and are intimate with community issues and how to tackle them. They have been critical in helping Conscious Kenya develop our Green Play Project.

The Green Play Project reclaims illegal dumpsites in Viwandani into 39 safe playgrounds. It provides 3,000+ children, including those with disabilities, clean spaces to play, free from hazardous waste and disease risks.
