Hiku si kikapu cha plastiki Ten amazing women, all of whom have one or more children with a mental and/or physical disability are responsible for CTC’s canvas bag making initiative.  The bags that they make serve two purposes:  1) to provide an income for them and their families, 2) to promote environmental sustainability.  Plastic bags are often called the national flower of Kenya as they can be seen lodged in trees and shrubs in almost every town. “Hiku si kikapu cha plastiki”- “This is not a plastic bag” is a way to turn this dependence on plastic bags and re-educate a nation that there is another way.
