For decades, Kisumu’s informal settlements lived under a haze of smoke from burning garbage. Now, in Obunga, Nyalenda, and Nyawita, a new UN-backed pilot is testing a different future, one where waste is sorted at home, youth are paid to collect it, and the skyline is free of smoke. This episode follows the people making it happen, and asks if this lakeside city could set the pace for Africa’s waste solutions.
