| Upgrading Floringi Village |
|
Floringi village in Mvita Constituency could have best been described
as a cocktail of foul smell, stagnant surface water, uncollected
garbage, floods (during rain seasons) and human settlement- all of
these as a result of poor drainage/wastewater management.
Thanks Bamburi Special Products Ltd who partnered with Citizen Forum Trust (C.F.T) a local Non Governmental Organization headed by Hon. Najib Balala and United Nation Environmental Project (UNEP). BSP provided technical support in paving roads and walkways using the unique BamburiBlox concrete paving blocks developed using modern technology. Further BSP offered to impart practical skills to hundreds of
Floringi youths, who voluntarily participated by way of providing
labour on the application of BamburiBlox. "Those who participated
will proudly apply their skills in self employment and other opportunities," said
BSP Ltd General Manager Tariq Iqbal during the unveiling of the
Floringi Upgrade Project dinner held at Mombasa on February 17th
