Last time, we shared how the PSN team joined global climate leaders at the UN headquarters in Gigiri for World Cleanup Day. The focus was on textile waste the clothes we wear, throw away, and sometimes forget. We learned how other countries are reusing, recycling, and turning old clothes into useful items. The message was clear: cleaner streets, more jobs and stronger communities start with how we handle fashion waste. But the story didn’t stop there. The very next day, Saturday, September 20th 2025, PSN and the global climate leaders took those ideas straight to the ground. Together with local residents and the area Chief, Mr. Washira, Shauri Moyo, they led a clean-up at Historical Kamukunji Park.

The theme of the day? “Less waste, more reuse.” Old clothes were collected, sorted, and discussed. Could they be turned into cleaning cloths? School bags? Even garden covers? Curious? Some volunteers shared how they’ve stitched old jeans into aprons or used fabric scraps to make mats. Did I mention there was a group of women, waste pickers from Dandora took the stage in outfits made from recycled materials? Their fashion wasn’t just eye-catching it made everyone stop and think: if waste can look this good, what else are we throwing away that could be turned into value? The clean-up wasn’t just about picking up litter. It was about protecting a space that holds memories, stories, and community pride. Now imagine this: What if your old clothes didn’t end up in a dumpsite but helped build something new? Want to be part of the next clean-up? Want to learn how to turn old clothes into useful items?
