Community & Training
Teach it once, and it keeps going
Training kits
Two kits, two audiences
Community Training Kit
Estates, community groups, collectors and volunteers
Everything a community facilitator needs to run a two-hour session that ends with households actually sorting.
Modules
- Why sorting at source changes the outcome
- The four colours, hands on
- Hazardous waste — what never goes in a normal bag
- Registering on the app, or by SMS if there is no smartphone
- How eco-points convert into airtime and M-Pesa
- Running your first collection day
Sustainable Fashion Education Kit
Schools, campuses, fashion students, tailors and designers
The textile side of the programme, taught rather than preached — built around what a garment costs before anyone wears it.
Modules
- Where a garment comes from and what it costs to make
- Reading a fabric label and a sustainability rating
- The mitumba trade — the honest version
- Repair before replace: five fixes anyone can learn
- Upcycling as a business, not a hobby
- Running a swap event at your school or campus
Eco-challenge hub
Competition, but collective
Challenges are scored at household, school, campus and estate level as well as individually — collective rankings move more behaviour than personal ones do.
Green Wardrobe Challenge
Reduce textile waste by reusing, repairing, and buying second-hand or upcycled. Every tracked garment action counts toward your score.
- Reward
- Badges, certificates and marketplace credit
- Taking part
- 1,240
Global Waste Responsibility Challenge
The programme-wide challenge: log, sort correctly, and get your household or institution onto the leaderboard.
- Reward
- Airtime, M-Pesa cash-out, or a donation to a community clean-up fund
- Taking part
- 2,105
30-Day Sorting Streak
Log at least one correctly sorted item every day for a month. Sorting accuracy, not volume, decides this one.
- Reward
- Double eco-points for the following month
- Taking part
- 863
School outreach
School Outreach Programme
A structured term-long engagement: one launch assembly, four classroom sessions, a school waste audit, and an eco-club that keeps running after we leave.
- 1Launch assembly and the four-colour sorting game
- 2Bins installed and labelled by category
- 3Four classroom sessions from the training kit
- 4A student-run waste audit, logged in the app
- 5Eco-club formed, with a committee and a term plan
- 6The school joins the institutional leaderboard
Awareness, education & mentorship
Mentorship & Youth Innovation
Capacity-building and sustainability dialogues that give young innovators something harder to provide than information: someone experienced to ask, a platform to be seen on, and resources to build with.
Co-hosted challenges and events
Sustainability challenges, campus fashion campaigns and public awareness events, run with partner institutions rather than at them.
Institutionalising the programme
Supporting institutions to make sustainability programmes and youth-led innovation permanent, so they survive the students who started them.
Working with local designers and industry
Collaboration with local designers and industries to promote transparency and circular design in practice, not in principle.
Mentorship, visibility and resources
Direct mentorship for creative and eco-conscious youth innovators, with visibility through the campaign channels and access to the resources they would otherwise lack.
Eco-Innovation Impact Showcase
A virtual showcase highlighting pilot successes and youth stories, where outstanding contributors — youth leaders, schools and tailors — are recognised with certificates and eco-kits.
Short videos
Ninety seconds beats a lecture
Deliberately short and low-resolution by default, so they load on a modest data bundle and can be watched at a training day with patchy signal.
