Ever thought of how our rural folks receive internet? Its quiet shocking that most of the rural areas are not connected with internet. They live comfortably in their villages with no internet access. Its a big kudos to Kenya's Youth enterprise fund that has launched internet kiosks in the rural areas to help the youth access information.

Maasai are the southernmost Nilotic speakers and are linguistically most directly related to the Turkana and Kalenjin who live near Lake Turkana in west central Kenya. According to Maasai oral history and the archaeological record, they also originated near Lake Turkana. Maasai are pastoralist and have resisted the urging of the Tanzanian and Kenyan governments to adopt a more sedentary lifestyle

Dinosaur lived during a time when there was existence of very many types of reptiles, this era was called Age of reptiles and the world had thousand of dinosaur species. It is said that some of the reptiles had wings some lived on land and others lived in the waters. Many people thought that all this creatures were dinosaurs but that’s not correct. Dinosaurs were a special kind of reptile,

Its high time that we stop this massive damage of our environment. The world we live in is not the same world our fore fathers enjoyed to live in.Our climate is changing minute after minute. Its quiet disturbing to see our world climate going to the worse just because of we as human beings who have stepped up to destroy forests, water catchments areas, riparian land, swamps just to mention but

Hi guys i am just from Kitui North and South to do film on the devastating climate change that has not only rocked our World but also our own Ukambani region. I am well versed with the current situation the community are going through, Kitui residents wake up every morning only to walk for more than 10 km in search of 'salty' water women and children are the greater majority in this water

It is devastating to watch my people loosing thousands of their cattle to the drought every day as the sun dawns it leaves behind more than five cattle dead, it is surprising that my people are selling these herds at a throw away price.Ooh Lord i do ask you to intervene.....

I am just from Nairobi City and my head is aching not because i am sick.. nope! the hustles and bustles in the city are unbearable. I happened to use Uhuru highway thinking i will evade the traffic jam but it was different. I have spent one hour and exactly twenty five minutes waiting for traffic to ease, my fellow motorists have decided to sit on top of their lorry after waiting for more than

Technology is knocking and knocking even before we wellcome it its within us...rural areas are now at per with the urban, nothing goes on in urban settings that is news to our rural folks.Nguruman despite its remoteness has benefited a lot from this technology that is sinking very fast amongst us... Gone are the days nguruman residents used to travel for milesand miles to publish thousand of

Symbiosis is a term that my biology teacher used to insist on my head not knowing that i will experience it, It simply means the relationship between different living things that depend on each other, Its surprising that a particular stray black hen walks into my office( community knowledge center) every day at around 10am not to obtain information but to drop an egg.I do provide the hen with a

Hi everyone this is my office in Nguruman, Magadi. I am a Community Information Volunteer and my greatest concern is to ensure that the whole community, exchange the appropriate information that will enhance their livelihoods.I have learnt and discovered a lot while working with the community one is that you totally know nothing until you experience it. I happen to be in a maasai community and

Imagine a world without children, Life would be boring. Children are a special gift from God. I love their innocence and sincerity nature. I enjoy spending some part of my time with them and get to know what i can learn from them. Lets love and appreciate our children...

Today is sun-day am only ten days old in Nguruman sub location in Magadi Division. I was honored to be invited to a maasai circumcision and wedding ceremony by my good friend. The ceremony was held at the slopes of the famous Loita escarpments, a very beautiful scenery.Dance and jubilation could be heard from a distance. Young and energetic morans danced to the tune of maasai songs. The young

Nguruman is a unique village located approximately 200 km from Nairobi, Kenya's capital city.Nguruman holds a total population of around 2000 people and this makes it a village where everyone is a son or daughter to every father and mother despite race,tribe or age.The village has no source of power and its only a few rich individuals who own solar panels thus information dissemination becomes a

I support the fact;Information is power. I happen to be in a particular place around 200km from our Kenya''s capital, Nairobi and life here is extremely different. The road to this area is impassable and this makes nguruman area isolated. The area has no electricity and the only source of power is solar which is owned by by few rich individuals.Getting information and current news is the hardest
