In Nairobi’s Kibera slum, a recycling board game is changing how locals manage waste. Created by environmentalist Sam Dindi, the game teaches circular economy principles through fun, rewards, and education. Garbage collector Ibrahim Doka and youth-led group Greenshift for Development are turning plastic waste into paving stones and game mats.
