Residents of the local community work together to maintain the cleanliness of the beaches and river channels, not only to create jobs, but also to use the seized waste to develop a series of environmentally friendly products, hoping to eventually save the marine ecology and enhance people's environmental awareness.
Environmental policy
The product is made of recycled rubber, that is, the most common wear in the summer, In order to collect these rubber, in the city and the beach are arranged a special recycling window, so to prevent the discarded plastic waste to the ocean, creatures, and even humans, suffer from plastic poison! The goal is to recover 400,000 pairs of slippers every year!
Recycling center
The community has set up a recycling center to systematically recover waste such as glass, plastic, clothing and iron cans.

Producer
Our producers are women from remote coastal areas, where the general unemployment rate is very high. Our program began in the Kiwayu area, and since 1997 these women have been able to have stable job opportunities and no longer have to be afraid of unemployment. We have created jobs in some poor areas and have increased social awareness, such as Kibera's slums, Ngong and Mombasa areas. People can earn money by helping us recycle waste.
40 full-time Kenya producers, working hours from Monday to Friday, and teaches them a lot of different production skills. We give producers the benefits of maternity leave and paternity leave, 21-26 days of sick leave a year and subsidize the medical expenses of the producer, and also provide free lunch.
