A new NGO Mtoto wa Dandora – Children in Dandora
Jackson Obura is the founder of the new NGO called Mtoto wa Dandora which means Children in Dandora. I met with the Board and members of the new organisation. They have great plans for the future! The ultimate plan is make other business of all what is today dumped on the dump site. At the moment they give lessons in drama, help children with home work and support orphan children. They also have cleaning days to get rid of all grabage in the streets. Most important now: To get a homepage and income. We discussed chicken business which can engage children in the area.
