EcoSafi, meaning “clean environment” in Kiswahili, is KITO’s environmentally friendly social enterprise. EcoSafi is dedicated to making Kenya more green by producing gift bags and greeting cards from recycled materials. We are concerned about the trash accumulating in the urban slums of Kenya, with a great proportion of that trash being plastic shopping bags. EcoSafi is committed to reduce environmentally harmful waste by replacing those plastic bags with reusable and recycled bags.
EcoSafi is looking forward to expanding our product base and to bring more environmentally friendly products into the community.
KITO youth work with EcoSafi for four months after graduating from KITO’s Training Program. Not only does employment at EcoSafi provide former street youth with a study income, it also gives them the hands-on experience that they need in order to enter the workforce.
