PROBLEM

bomb waiting to explode.

Kenya stands at 40%,

and 70% of those

unemployed are

and 35.

70% Kenya Unemployed Youth

“ “"Many nonprofits, libraries, and schools don't have

the time, money, or funding to use technology in all the

ways they would like. Technical volunteers can fill the

gap by tackling the projects that in-house staff cannot

handle, and that do not require paid consultants." Tech

soup.

LET’S REVIEW SOME OF OUR PILOTS

BIKE SHARING

Bike share system is a

revenue model we tested to

sustain our sifasafi cleanup

volunteer activity, as a way to

recruit volunteers, we did a

crowd fund bought 3 bikes for

hire to students in the

university, which was being

run by sifasafi volunteers, We

did a pilot study and came up

with a model that will

introduce bike share system

owned by the university. .

SIFASAFI CLEAN UP

Sifasafi organised 5 cleanups

and developed reports, we

realized that students who came

wanted to be given a certificate

to show that they participated,

and there was low attendance of

volunteers, we thought how can

we create value for our

volunteers and that’s how

sifasafi.com came in handy.

We also mapped Nairobi river in

partnership with CEAC

(Chiromo environmental

association club) using #Nailitter

an online campaign to stop

littering in urban areas.

UNHABITAT

Our pilot project for bike share

system in the university, is

adopted by the university and

has support from UNHABITAT.
