Youth-led Solutions for Climate Action and Biodiversity Komb Green Solutions Supported by: Solutions for Youth Employment (World Bank Group)
  • The Komb Green Solutions programs have served as good practice for sustainable managing green spaces in Nairobi. Komb Green Solutions has used their training and expertise in riparian ecosystems development to reclaim riparian lands and transform dumpsites into recreational areas for people living in Nairobi’s informal settlements. The Founder, Okinda, together with his team have also used their platform and leadership to transform more than 120 youth involved in criminal activities into community changemakers.
