It was a perfect act.

Nyash Mzukah Kurukah: our friend has been shot dead in Kenya yesterday evening. We can’t believe this has happened, we are in shock. We can’t stop thinking about Pato Shobz, his friends, his wife, 2 children and family. The unmeasurable void he left behind, also for Nairobi and Kenya as a whole! He was a true warrior of peace and justice, he was an inspirational and wise leader in his community, he achieved unimaginable hights for his community, a poineer in every sense of the word. His death cannot go unnoticed, in his name we need to continue his struggle and fight for justice and freedom in Nairobi ghettos, for the right to live, build a life and grow old! We love you, Nyash.

Dear Friends

Friday morning, 11-11-2011, the ghetto Mathare, Nairobi, Kenya, was hit by a ravaging fire that left 300 families homeless. Many of our Maji Mazuri members have to start life from zero again. Luckily, nobody got hurt physically but the social and economic loss is beyond measure.
The fire was cost by a bad electricity connection that short-circuited. There was no water since the taps in the ghetto had been dry for over a week. One fire brigade arrived after two hours but soon was out of water too. More than a 1000 people lost everything and now have to sleep outside.
We kindly ask for your help to support these families to rebuild their lives.

For the first time youth from youth groups (Maji Mazuri and SPI) and youth from bazes are working together to promote peace, to strengthen relationships and build bridges between antagonistic groups. We have worked, strived, struggled to see this day come, for so long. Mathare will not be the same after this wonderful event. The youth from rowe and other bazes finally are included, not marginalised and excluded, and taken as fellow peers, as agents of peace and development instead of just young men for hire … for an impressions pls read here
