The Grassroots using their connection in Slums to Introduce the Japanese Scholars to Nairobi Slums

Many foreigners have a passion to get into contact with most of the slums in Kenya and just have a feeling of the slum life- how life goes on. This however has been challenging due to lack of local grassroots connections and high insecurity issues around these slum areas. However, with The grassroots walkers, the CEO being born and raised in Korogocho slums, is familiar with this environment making it easier for the foreign visitors to navigate these area.

This pre visit was a kind of a preliminary field visit to shape future researches with an aim of trying to find interesting slum issues that might serve as future research areas.

Additionally we took part in other researches in slum areas targeting young individuals in slums likely to join some criminals activities.

Good to note that the targeting activities took place in the Nairobi slums including Mathare and some recruited youths found the opportunity to join mobile phone repair training jointly organized by accept International and JICA.

Of special concern is the fact that the research team found time to join the famous Dandora dump site to experiance the work life in the dump site. Thanks to the local connection our company has with these grassroots stakeholders.Lets enjoy walking, Lets walk together. The Grassroots Walkers, We walk for you, We walk with. Karibu.
