To improve the quality of life of street vendors and marketers living and working in slums in Kenya (360G-CR-796038)

In Kenya most traders buy and sell in the street. This means constantly moving, or struggling to claim and keep their patch. Toilets and water are a rarity. By coming together and demanding recognition and basic facilities in return for the fees they pay, a national group is starting to change things.This project will help increase membership of the group and ensure that the police and council officials understand what traders are allowed to do. It will also negotiate for traders to receive loans and train them in business skills. As their lives become more stable they will be able to increase earnings and improve their working conditions.
