Dandora Ghetto is famous for its very large dump-site that
is believed to be one of the most toxic places in Africa if not in the entire
world.
Recently youth living
in this area have formed a group under the Yes Youth Can Initiative with
the aim of cleaning up this place and making it a tourist attraction site just
like the 14 falls in Thika.
The toxins find their way into the the river passing through
this ghetto and though it forms a very beautiful waterfall, very little can be gained
from it because of the high toxicity and inaccessible location.
They said most of them have reformed and for the few that are still in crime, they are doing their best to ensure they mentor them to change their ways by engaging them in community work.
