The Ololua Forest Clean-up
As we formally formed Nikola Energy with one of it's key pillars as solid waste management due to the current waste situation the country is facing. The systems established setup are out-dated and over-run the high levels of urbanisation that the country is facing. Even with the concerted government efforts to revamp the waste systems in the country, we still feel everyone has a responsibility to do the same and it was with these views that we decide to organise as clean-up of Ololua Forest because some unscrupulous individuals in a bid to avoid paying the tipping fees at the designated dumpsites were using the forest as an illegal avenue. We managed to attract a group of about 250 people which consisted of all age brackets the community, from the young in the community to the seasoned parts of the community. The majority in the group consisted of universities students who thanks to KIUESA the overall student body in the country.

Pilot e-Waste Day
Meeting with the NEMA Kajiado County
Kenya produces 20,000 Tons of E-Waste a year and yet only 1% is responsibly repurposed and this in our view needs to be addressed and with the increased dependency on technology, especially Mobile Tech and yet there is a high rate of re-purchase, we look to establish simple systems on where one can take E-Waste, thus proffering an avenue through which the mwananchi can purposely consider segregation of their trash. Especially because of the adverse effects on the environment and human health due to poor handling of E-Waste.
