Waste management is a global challenge, but in Mombasa, Kenya, young people are leading the way towards innovative solutions. The UComNetSus-Africa, a Pathways 2020 CRA project, has empowered local youth to take charge of waste management in their community. By sorting waste and recovering valuable materials, they are not only creating employment opportunities but also fostering a sense of environmental responsibility.

By taking a holistic view, the project is promoting sustainable practices that benefit the entire community. Its transdisciplinary approach recognizes that waste management is not just about cleaning up the environment; it’s also about addressing interconnected issues such as water pollution, air quality, human health, education, and the local economy.

The UComNetSus-Africa project in Mombasa demonstrates the power of youth-led initiatives and the importance of community engagement in addressing environmental challenges. It’s an example of how young people can make a difference in creating a sustainable future.
