RESTORATION OF CORAL REEFS

Baus Taka app innovation is aiding in collection of plastic waste and managing them not to end up in the Indian Ocean that has a major impact on climate change.

World Bank estimates that 15 million of plastics are disposed into the Indian Ocean annually Contaminating with trillion pieces of plastic and making it the World’s second most polluted ocean after North Pacific.

Further statics indicate that Mombasa churns out about 2,200 metric tons of waste every day, a quarter which is plastic that contributes to climate change.

To reverse this trend a woman innovator in Mombasa County has come up with Baus Taka an app that helps communities along the Coast to manage plastics that will have otherwise ended in the ocean as they own the burden of waste management.

The Baus Taka app has currently 700 users and has  features that enable them to request for waste management, sell plastics that have been collected, join initiatives of plastic cleaning at the beach and get trainings as well on plastic waste management.

She hopes that through this initiative will mitigate climate change that is occasioned by littering plastics that end into the ocean. The innovation has targeted women and girls who now earn a living through selling plastics and get health services that have partnered with the app upon redeeming their use points.

UKILIMA WA MATUTA WAZALISHA CHAKULA - RUTH MASITA

Kutokana na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi akina mama katika kijiji cha Mavirivirini kaunti ya Kwale wamekuja na mbinu za kukabiliana na athari hiyo kwa kutumia ukulima wa matuta kwenye harakati za kuhakikisha wanapata chakula cha kutosha. Itakumbukwa kwamba Kwenye kongamano kuhusu athari za mabadiliko ya tabia nchi almaarufu COP 27 mwezi Novemba mwaka 2022 nchini Misri, rais wa Kenya William Ruto alisema serikali yake ina mzigo wa kuwasaidia wakenya milioni nne na chakula cha msaada hali inayolemaza miradi mingine ya maendeleo. Na kwenye mkutano huo viongozi wa mataifa na wataalamu waliafikiana kuwa ni sharti wabuni mbinu mpya na za kudumu zitakazokabiliana na athari za mabadiliko ya tabia nchi kama vile ubunifu wa mbinu mpya za kilimo. Na ni kutokana na wito kama huu ambapo baadhi ya kina mama wakulima kutoka kaunti ya Kwale wameanza kuzingatia mbinu mpya ya kilimo kwenye harakati ya kujinasua kutokana na kilimo cha kutegemea mvua nyingi ambayo ni nadra kwa sasa kutokana na kiangazi cha mda mrefu.
