Day 1 of Partners (EcoWB and Power Engineers) Site Visit
Cleve from EcoWB and Erik from Power Engineers were the first to touch down. By evening, the smell of chapati from roadside stalls mixed with diesel from matatus as our office team walked them through Kibera — a first look at the lanes, the roofs, and the pace of a place you cannot understand from a brochure.
We had gathered at IBIS Hotel for a welcome meeting, then stepped out into the gold-hour light. This was not a tour for tourists; it was so partners could feel the ground — where waste piles when trucks delay, where children cut shortcuts to school, where our office sits among the same noise everyone else lives with.
Along the way someone pointed out the water point where neighbours negotiate whose jerrycan is next. Someone else nodded at a church roof catching the last sun. Nothing cinematic — just the ordinary detail that turns a map into a place you cannot forget.
Gino and Don from Power Engineers were still in transit; they would arrive deep into the night. The plan held: tomorrow we would be fuller, louder, more hands on deck.
There is a particular honesty in that first walk — before spreadsheets and joint logos — when someone simply sees. We are glad EcoWB and Power Engineers came.
Trust is not signed; it is stepped on, in borrowed gumboots, beside someone else's child.
If you are reading this as a partner or a neighbour, walk with us again when we call: showing up on day one is how trust begins.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
