Every morning, Francisca Mwende and two other members of New Genesis, a community-based organisation in Mukuru, set out into the expansive settlement in search of polythene bags.
In a day, this trio collects about 120 kilos from dustbins, landfills and rivers, and delivers it to Vintz Plastics, a local recycler. This has become a source of livelihood for New Genesis, enabling them to meet their basic needs.
