From source to future: shaping a sustainable future for the Mathare River in Kenya In November 2024, the Mathare River in Nairobi, Kenya, became the focal point of an inspiring initiative: the Future Design Basecamp (FDB). Organised by World Waternet, in collaboration with Embassy of the Earth, the Mathare River Regeneration Network, WaterWorX, and Blue Deal, this three-day event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to reimagine and restore one of Nairobi’s most critical river ecosystems. From community members and government agencies to environmental advocates and utilities, the basecamp highlighted the transformative power of inclusive collaboration.
