Who We Are

GreenPekee Initiatives Ltd is a community-led infrastructure and sustainability organization transforming Mathare, Nairobi — one of East Africa's most densely populated informal settlements — through locally-driven enterprise, clean water and sanitation projects, urban farming, and waste management. We work from the ground up, building solutions designed by the community, for the community.

Our Director of Operations, Charles Onyango, brings over 15 years of heavy civil construction experience to that work, including his time as a Lead Hand at Kiewit on the Ottawa Light Rail Transit project in Canada. He holds a Diploma in Construction Engineering Technology from Algonquin College, Ottawa, and has been a Co-Founder of MaSCA — the Mathare Slums Community Association — since 2017, grounding international-grade construction standards directly in Mathare's own community governance.

Our vision extends beyond Mathare. We are building a replicable model — one that pairs community ownership with professional infrastructure standards — that can be carried across urban Kenya and, in time, Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our Initiatives

Four enterprises. One unified mission.

Green Pekee Enterprises Solution

Our infrastructure arm designs and builds community structures — including the Pink House waste collection centre, park fencing, and community halls. Every build follows professional construction standards adapted to Mathare's own terrain and needs.

Green Pekee Ecosolution Enterprise

Our ecological and agricultural arm focuses on hydroponics and modern urban farming techniques suited to dense, informal settlements. It's how we're building food security for Mathare, one green solution at a time.

Zero Waste Initiative

Our waste management association handles collection, sorting, recycling, and repurposing of community waste. We treat what's discarded as a resource — turning waste into community wealth rather than a community burden.

MaSCA — Mathare Slums Community Association

Our community governance body manages the Mathare Community Park, an open-air library, a children's feeding program, community wellness sessions, and the Cheza Healthy youth soccer program. It's the civic backbone connecting every GreenPekee enterprise back to the people it serves.

“Mathare has always had the solutions. Now the world will have a place to find them.”

The Problem

Urban Mathare faces systemic infrastructure gaps — waste mismanagement, food insecurity, and a lack of shared community spaces.

The Solution

GreenPekee Initiatives built a replicable model — community-owned infrastructure, zero-waste systems, and urban agriculture working together.

The Vision

Scaling this model across urban Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa — proving that communities can build their own future.
