Nairobi River

Nairobi River is a waterway flowing through Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. It plays a vital role in draining rainwater and supporting local ecosystems. Over time, however, it has faced pollution from waste, sewage, and industrial discharge, which degrade water quality and harm nearby communities and wildlife. Despite efforts to clean and rehabilitate it, challenges remain due to urban development and improper waste management. Nairobi River’s health is important for environmental sustainability, public health, and improving living conditions in the city. Protecting and restoring the river can benefit both the environment and the community.
