"Money is not
the key that opens the gates of the market but the bolt that bars them"
Gesell, Silvio The
Natural Economic Order
Revised English edition,
Peter Owen,
“Poverty is created scarcity”
Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
Rubbish in the project
area is mostly domestic. The amount reflects the size of the family. Rubbish is
put in a compost pit and later used as farm manure. In rural areas there are
therefore no costs involved.
In urban areas rubbish is
collected by the sewerage department for disposal by the municipal council. A
fee for rubbish collection up to € 14 per month is charged.
Rubbish in the project area
which is not disposed of properly poses a health hazard and allows flies, rats
and other pests to breed. It also causes bad smells.
The project includes setting
up local recycling centres to add value to waste products. It enables recycling
of some materials within the local currency systems. Export of residual waste
materials will provide formal currency income to repay micro-credit loans
advanced to the recycling centres.
