Dandora has a positive side too! July 16, 2010

Dandora is normally known as a town full of thieves, it hosts one of the largest dump site in Africa and for many other different reasons.

Apart from the negative factors of this town such as being high ranked in criminal activities , there are also the positive aspects of it such that there are many other youths with great potential, youths who are willing very much to change the name and the foundation of this town,Dandora.

There is just one problem that has just come up due to one of the biggest dumping site in Africa. The government is trying to manage the dumping site but it’s quite a challenge to them, due to the large trucks which deposit the dump at the site they have really damaged the roads.

Most of the dump before being deposited, falls off the trucks on the roads which later get driven on and then it becomes part of the road. The roads are now the dustiest of all roads in Nairobi. Now in addition to the bad smell from the dumping site there’s also  dust from the roads. It is not only the bad smell but also many people have complained of getting sick due to the inhalation of dust emitted from the cars and roads.

Once there was a beautiful road in Dandora, but now it’s a road full of potholes and dust, increasingly, the world around us looks as we are despising it, because why would you spoil the place other people call a home, the thing is that we will no longer have a society, a place we can call a home if we continue destroying the environment.

It all starts with individuals; you must be the change you wish to see in the world. It has always ringed in my mind that whoever saves one soul saves the whole world
