In Kisumu, on the shores of Lake Victoria, a quiet sanitation revolution is taking shape, driven not by large infrastructure, but by local entrepreneurs transforming how waste is managed, and resources are recovered. This story features Mayaya Waste Management Services, a sanitation SME using innovative approaches like biodigesters to turn organic waste into biogas and fertiliser, advancing both public health and environmental sustainability. With support from WSUP and its partners, these businesses are gaining the training, finance, and institutional links they need to grow into reliable service providers embedded within Kisumu’s urban sanitation system. A powerful example of how local enterprise is reshaping sanitation, creating jobs, and building cleaner, healthier cities from the ground up.
