Under the scorching midday sun of Mahoo village in Taita Taveta County, silt deposits and rocks cover the pathway of Mwanguwa Ravine, revealing patches of steep areas that when it rains floods.

Without water, it is safe to navigate the ravine, but walking through the deposits of silt, you notice parts have been turned into landfill sites, carrying mostly used diapers, plastic bags and bottles.
