I am expecting a friend from America in the month of June 2010. He will stay for a week and expects me to take
him to good tourist sites in Nairobi and its environs. I am planning to take him to Nairobi National Park and Kibera slums.
Kindly propose any other memorable sites and companies or individuals who can assist in the Kibera visit.

You assistance will be appreciated

Ken

Any residential estate in Eatlands will do;plus the stretch of road that is Eatleigh First Avenue, there are enough pot holes filled with water and murky substances to make a memorable visit.

And dont forget Koinage street

ngoyea weekend peleka yeye westlands hapo inje ya Rezorous hau black diamond ajionee, then mukirudi mupige lap of honour koinange street.

Eti Kibera??.....Hii mtu ni kalulu tu.....GNN!!

I have heard of thubu wa mbonoka.........hii ya kifororo ndio gani??

kumbe SK ni ya jokers, am getting better response from YP. Anyway he wants to support one or two families in Kenya. That is why I included Kibera.

But all the same you made my day guys

@informer
Sk huwa hivyo..dont take them seriously

For the Nairobi tour,depends on his interests. But basically,he could do:
**Nairobi NAtional Park
**Nairobi Safari walk
**Sheldricks Elephant orphanage(10 to noon only daily)
**Girraffe centre
**Karen Blixen Museum
**Bomas - Cultural experience
**Nairobi Museum/Snake Park
**Olorgesaille archeological site & Museum
**Oloolua nature trail and bird watchers paradise - Karen

For the Kibera projects,what is his main interest? women groups,youth projects,orphan's projects?? I would highly propose he helps a Youth or Women project,in terms of empowerment financially ama with ideas,or to source for funding. As opposed to giving hand outs to individuals or families. We are trying to encourage a culture of every individual earning a dignified living and learning to sweat their way out of poverty instead of waiting for funds year in,year out. i.e The hand-up system as opposed to the hand-down system.
Kibera,you can find various community projects,that go a long way in helping families wade their way out of poverty. If you need more info on the projects,a guide etc.. just drop me an email and will forward you a full writeup of what each project does.

@Informer
Check email. I hope the suggested projects are what your friend had in mind. Thanks in advance

IMHO kibera is not the poorest part of the country, there are poorer people in the Kenya, if I had a friend coming with such a mission I would take him in the rurals places.

Poverty is related to witchcraft, I can bet you'll come face to face with poverty ISO certified in such places like kitui, some places in rural coast,tharaka, Gaturi in Murang'a.

Kibera only features coz its like 20mins drive from the city,ave worked with people earning more than 20$ a day and live in kibera.
