Kibera World Toilets Day - Planning Meeting
The Nairobi Rivers Commission boardroom held more coffee cups than chairs by midday — a long meeting, the good kind where decisions actually move. Commissioners Eva Muhia and Grace Sennie sat with newly appointed Hon. Lelei, known in the room as ‘Gen Z’, while river coordinators compared notes from across the city.
Hon. Bishop Margaret Wanjiru, the new NRC chairperson, listened as Brigadier Joseph Muracia, the commission’s CEO, paused at the door to greet the team. Dr. Esther Kimani from the chairperson’s secretariat at City County steered the agenda — 18 and 19 November, Undugu Grounds in Kibera, theme: Toilet: A Place for Peace.
Details stacked up — which route dignitaries take, where latrine exhibitors stand, how to speak about sanitation without shaming the poor. Outside, Nairobi traffic roared; inside, someone sketched a map of the grounds on the back of an agenda.
Be at Undugu on the day — bring a neighbour who still uses a plastic bag at night; peace, sometimes, starts with a door that locks.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
