Project Summary

RegisTree is a pilot organic composting initiative in Kilifi that converts community food waste into organic fertilizer. It integrates technology with waste management education to promote a circular economy and cleaner environment.

Intervention Areas

Waste Management & Circular Economy

Target Population

Low-Income Individuals & FamiliesVulnerable or Marginalized Populations (General)

Problem Statement

Marginalized communities in Kilifi lack waste collection services, leading to the open burning of waste and methane emissions. This improper disposal poses health risks and contributes to environmental degradation.

Proposed Solution

Establish a community-based composting facility using local resources. Process food waste into organic compost and liquid fertilizer for sale, while educating the community on sustainable waste practices.

Expected Impact

Reduction in harmful waste burning and methane emissions. Economic empowerment for community groups through profit-sharing (30% of proceeds). Creation of a cleaner, healthier living environment.

Sustainability Plan

The project generates revenue through the sale of organic compost and liquid fertilizer. Profits are shared with the community group, creating a self-sustaining economic incentive for waste management.
