Youths are regreening their Nairobi neighborhood, one park at a time

October 06, 2022

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. You can read my reportage story for De Volkskrant here.
