Mang'u stood out too. Offered Power Mechanics, Electrical, Woodwork, Agric, Building & Construction, Aviation, Computer & Science Labs. Equipping them was a different thing, but lay the foundation for many folks.

Reminder to submit work for consideration to our July workshop on reportage. You still have 5 more days to the deadline day.

Even now in Ukambani, there's this old belief that's stuck around us. We don't keep too many goats. The thinking is they strip the land bare. And me personally? I always assumed this advice came from the Agriculture department.

#NairobiCityMarathon 2026 breaks the record of being worst organized marathon in its entire history. The best one was the first dubbed #UhuruClassic. This one of #ThePulseofNairobi was just 🥵 as you will see 👇 👇 @KorirOfficial @athletics_kenya @Waziri_Mvurya @NBOcitymarathon

This is Insane 😧 "He led Kamba men, women, and children on a ~60 km march from Machakos areas (e.g., Ngelani, Koma Rock) to Nairobi. They camped for weeks (around 6 weeks) at Kariokor (then Carrier Corps market), maintaining a disciplined, non-violent presence"

True; Masjid Landhies is actually a Kenyan national monument. The mosque was built in 1899 by Punjabi muslims railway workers. It's older than the Jamia mosque

Muindi Mbingu aliongoza (wakamba) wenzake (3,000) kutembea kutoka Machakos mpaka Central Police ku protest the destocking policy (wakoloni walichukua ng'ombe zao ati ni mingi mpaka zina cause erosion zikitembea - then wakajenga slaughter house kuzichinja - KMC ya Athi River).

I recently captured a shot, part of Kayawhe River in Kariūwa, Kanyenyainī, Kangema Mūranga. Kayahwe Road in Kilimani memorises the River. Historically, "The Kayahwe River Massacre was a tragic ambush by British colonial forces against the Mau Mau, which occurred in 1953 alongside the Kayahwe River in Kenya’s Central Province during the liberation struggle. It is remembered as one of the largest single-day setbacks for the freedom fighters." I don't know the exact point of the masacre. Initially, I never thought Kayahwe is a Central Kenya name. Sounded Coastal to me.

Some context What I want to do is bring 20 more devs to Nyamarambe, each earning a minimum of 150k a month. Most of them will come from Nairobi. We're also preparing for the next cohort of students in September. By the end of next year, Reduzer alone is going to pump around Ksh 6 million a month through salaries, and I don't want that money going elsewhere. I want it to circulate in this town. The biggest issue right now is housing, both residential and commercial. My devs are coming from Nairobi, and they're forced to look for decent houses in Kisii or Rongo. They need a good place to stay, nice hotels, entertainment, a good social life which is not here yet. So I've started renting individual houses and renovating them. It's a proof of concept. I want to show the landlords here what it means to provide decent living, and show them that people are actually willing to pay for it. It's a long shot, but I'm very hopeful, since this is something Reduzer is genuinely interested in

National Addressing Bill ya 2025? Hehe parliament.go.ke/sites/defau… Well, eeh, ilikuwa i-guide the establishment of a National Addressing Council na County Addressing Committees. Bado wana-i-discuss, as per 2 months ago: facebook.com/story.php?story…

(This is Bettina Ng’weno’s book - No Place Like Home in a New City, but…) Martin and Bezemer, two architectural historians who studied the history of Nairobi’s native public housing (1918 - 1948), wrote about landhi, landi-mabati & landi-mawe here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
