Back to Basics(BTB), is a Women led non-profit Organization working in Kenya to support communities

21/05/2026

The circular economy is often celebrated for creating cleaner and greener communities — but behind that progress are thousands of women whose work remains largely unseen.

Every day, women waste pickers play a critical role in protecting the environment, recovering recyclable materials, and supporting their families through incredibly demanding work. Yet many continue to face unsafe conditions, stigma, and limited recognition despite their contribution to sustainable development.

At Back to Basics (BTB), we believe these women are not on the margins of the circular economy — they are at its very core. Through collective action, dignity, and inclusion, we can build communities that are both environmentally sustainable and socially just.

A greener future must also be a more inclusive one.

With the right mindset, every obstacle becomes just an easy puzzle to play with, and that is what we at BTB skillfully impart as a mission for community growth and empowerment during training. We no longer simply motivate; instead, we become the ladder toward achieving the right attitude for foreseeing a positive future, as we believe women are not just participants in society—they are powerful agents of change.
With our empowerment training, we master the art of imparting lessons where participants transition from self doubt to a motivated mind capable of achieving anything. By taking small but measurable steps with a resilient mind, we transform individuals into empowered attitudes, beginning with tackling mindset challenges.
At BTB, we are the voice that becomes the change needed—impacting positive mindsets, boldly shaping our women into new directions, and holding their hands as they rise slowly but steadily with immense courage.
We invite you to be part of this journey as we witness women rising to lead, inspire, and uplift communities. Together, we can nurture potential, spark transformation, and secure a brighter future.

STARTING FROM EXPERIENCE, NOT FROM ZERO ..

At BTB, today was not about motivation. It was about helping people recognize the value, strength and potential they already carry within them.

Participants reflected on their lived experiences and transformed:
stories → skills → income possibilities → first action.

We explored a powerful truth:
Many people are not starting from zero — they are starting from experience.

Cooking became entrepreneurship.
Caregiving became leadership and responsibility.
Buying and selling became negotiation and business skills.
Life struggles became evidence of resilience, adaptability and strength.

Together, we challenged limiting beliefs, fear of failure, unhealthy distractions and the idea that people are “stuck.” We reminded ourselves that growth is possible through awareness, learning, practice and action.

The room slowly shifted from:
“I can’t”
to
“I can learn.”
“I can start.”
“I can grow.”

Participants developed practical first-income ideas using the resources and skills they already have, with a commitment to take their first step within the next 7 days.

One key reminder from the session:
You do not need perfect conditions to begin. You need the courage to start where you are.

Real transformation begins when people stop waiting for opportunity and start building from what is already in their hands.

Human beings depend on the environment for survival — our well-being is directly connected to the health of the world around us. That is why protecting and nurturing our environment is a shared responsibility requiring the efforts of individuals, communities, and partners alike.

At Back to Basics (BTB), we believe that sustainable solutions begin by returning to the basics. Through our environmental stewardship initiatives, we are taking practical action by planting, nurturing, and protecting trees to help build greener and more sustainable communities.

But creating a greener planet cannot be achieved through isolated efforts alone. Real climate action requires collaboration across all sectors of society. Together, we can restore ecosystems, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact for future generations.

Join us as we champion environmental stewardship and work towards a healthier, greener planet for all.

Back to Basics hosted a powerful session today, bringing together women eco-ambassadors committed to cleaning up our environment—work that comes with real challenges, especially for those in marginalized communities.

The conversation focused on mental resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and turning waste into opportunity. One message stood out clearly: reduce, reuse, recycle, and redesign.

Beyond the dialogue, commitment was clear —continued mentorship and defined action points for each participant. In two weeks, the group will reconvene to shape a way forward, with women who have seen success through Back to Basics stepping in to walk alongside and support those who need guidance.

Change isn’t easy, but it’s happening. Driven by determined women, we are building cleaner communities and shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.
