Donning their Helping Hands yellow vests, the group spurred other community members into laboring with the cleanup project. The day ended with a celebration and appreciation speech by Nairobi Governor Sonko at the area that was rehabilitated for a park, reclaimed from a dumpsite. Those who helped clean the market were thanked, including the MHH representatives for this environmental day. Monthly projects will continue to be held on the first Saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome to participate to make Nairobi a cleaner, healthier and more attractive place to live.
