For years, teachers and students at the Dandora Secondary School in Kenya鈥檚 capital Nairobi have complained of respiratory illnesses. They say they are caused by the toxic fumes given off by East Africa's largest dump site, the Dandora landfill, which is next to the school.

Despite being declared full in 1996, the landfill continues to receive approximately 2,000 tonnes of waste each day.

But now the head teacher of the school has decided to tackle the issue, and with students has been planting bamboo in order to combat the air pollution.

Africa Daily鈥檚 Alan Kasujja spoke to school Principal Eutychus Maina who initiated this innovative solution when he fell ill soon after joining the school.
