Trash is Cash

Tende, Lilian (Wafalme)
Winner: The MTV Positive Change Award
YouTube (2009-09-07)

Trash is Cash, written by Lilian Tende, who will be coming to Copenhagen to accept the award on behalf of the group, is the most recent song performed by Wafalme. The core idea behind this song is to highlight the problems that climate change is causing in people's daily lives.  Acute water shortages and a lack of renewable energy sources make life hard across Kenya. “When we sit back and consider the significant events in the past, the important aspects of our current life, and our future goals, we realize that the underlying theme is not only education (personal and environmental), but also appreciating diversity, especially across ethnic and socio-economic class lines.” Lilian Tende, Wafalme
