A school in Kenya that harvests over 2 million liters of rainwater every year.
The roof is the water system. The stadium seats 1,500 and collects 1.5 million liters on its own. Classrooms face inward toward agriculture courtyards where students grow their own food.
Girls who spent hours fetching water now attend school. Attendance hit 95%.
This is what architecture looks like when it solves the actual problem.
📍 Waterbank Secondary School Campus, Laikipia, Kenya
Architect: PITCHAfrica

Someone asked me why I looked old or older in my Kibera photos compared to Now, this was my house when Legendary @NaziziHirji visited me in 2009. Looking to how youths are being used badly as goons let me tell those who don’t understand coz it’s clear most of you may not fully grasp the reality of life in the informal settlements so allow me to offer you a lived synopsis.
The slums age me long before the world ever gave me a fair chance. By 18, I carried the weight of decades not because I wanted to, but because I had to.
Spending your first 25 years in a place where poverty is normalized doesn’t just shape you it scars you. Not only through the absence of basic needs, but through the constant dehumanization even from relatives who distance themselves once they move beyond those streets. You’re criminalized by default. Watched, profiled, and blamed before you’re ever seen or heard.
There is no access to food security, no reliable healthcare, no consistent education, and certainly no financial safety net. Just the brutal mathematics of survival.
And survival isn’t free it demands your innocence, your dreams, and often, your spirit. It ages you. It erodes your sense of wonder. It kills the child in you before he ever knows what freedom feels like.
But somehow, I found a way out. Music became my escape not just an art form, but a form of resistance. Through it, I found my own . I reclaimed my voice. And in doing so, I began the slow work of reinstalling my soul.
This is why ending poverty is not charity it is justice. It is the restoration of dignity and the protection of every child’s right to simply be a child.
If this doesn’t happen the goons will never ever go away and your favorite politician probably knows this and it excites him.

This guy is one of Kenya's best brains - and very few know about him.
Introducing John Tingoi - the Chuka University prodigy putting Kenya on the global map!
John Tingoi has been busy solving complex equations that most of us can’t even pronounce.
And guess what?
He just beat 9,000 contestants in Kenya (and nearly 80,000 worldwide) to make it to the Global Finals of the International Quant Championship (IQC) 2025.
Now he’s off to Singapore, from Sept 29 - 30, where he’ll stand on a world stage as one of the top 12 brains alive in this field.
Wait a minute.
What’s this Quant thing that’s taking John across the globe?
Quant is the short for Quantitative Finance/Research.
This is the wizardry of turning massive amounts of numbers into decisions that move billions.
Quants use maths, coding and statistics to:
- Predict how financial markets will behave.
- Build models that guide banks and hedge funds.
- Manage risk before investments go wrong.
- Power algorithms that even AI and trading bots use.
Basically, they’re the “behind-the-scenes geniuses” who make the money world tick.
And now, thanks to John, Kenya has a seat at that powerful table.
His win is not just personal - it’s proof that Chuka University and Kenya at large can produce talent to rival the best in the world.
Big up to you, John Tingoi.
From the slopes of Mt. Kenya to the high-tech arenas of Singapore, the flag is flying high because of you.
We wish you all the very best.

According to World Bank records, Kenya entered into a loan of over $200 million for CBC.
(I’m attaching the evidence as I promised yesterday.)
So far, over $84 million (≈ KSh 11 billion) has already been disbursed.
On top of that, Kenya signed another agreement for an additional $200+ million loan.
The person overseeing this loan is Ruth Charo.
Now here’s the simple question:
👉 Did we really need CBC when we already had the 8-4-4 system, which could have been upgraded at a fraction of the cost?
👉 And where did all this money go? In rural Kenya, students don’t even have proper labs. They do “practicals” all in one classroom.
Yet billions are borrowed in our name, leaving the country in debt.
Why? And why is the EACC silent? Where is the monies you borrowed?
Uhuru and now Ruto have really messed up kenya

Damn, He actually has a plan

Today I proudly share a vital tool in our struggle for truth and justice. A young patriot, Rose Tunguru, @rtunguru , stood up and gave her skill to build odiousdebt.vercel.app which is a simple site that explains our Odious Debt petition and the debt crisis in Kenya, explaining how billions were borrowed in secret and why we now demand these odious debts be declared illegal.
This is more than a website. It is a people’s classroom for every Kenyan who asks where our taxes go and why our children are born paying debts they never agreed to.
Visit it, read it, share it and remember this; no darkness is too deep when Kenyans stand together. We shall win.
Aluta continua.
