Kenya’s capital is getting a major eco-makeover! The Nairobi River Basin, long plagued by pollution, will undergo a transformative restoration project led by Chinese construction giant Energy China. President William Ruto kicked off the initiative this week with a high-energy groundbreaking ceremony attended by gov officials, environmental advocates, and company brass.
A River Runs Through It – Cleaner This Time
The project aims to breathe new life into the river as it snakes through Nairobi – think improved water quality, restored wetlands, and sustainable urban planning. Energy China, which has built mega-infrastructure projects across Africa, called it a 'win-win' for green development and China-Africa collaboration.
Why This Wave Matters
• Tackling climate impacts in a major African city • Showcasing cross-border eco-partnerships • Creating blueprints for urban river rehabilitation Locals hope this will mean cleaner parks, revived wildlife habitats, and a greener future for Kenya’s bustling capital.
