In Nairobi, I spent some time with Evans Otieno who used to be a gangster of Dandora, making money with robberies and muggings. Now, he is a successful entrepreneur and a pioneer in community-led projects. I talked to him about his transformation, and how he now transforms his neighborhood by collecting garbage, recycling, planting trees and creating lush public spaces for his community members.
