On Malindi’s shoreline stands one of Africa’s oldest European relics ~ the Vasco da Gama Pillar, planted in 1498 as the Portuguese navigator charted his historic Lisbon-to-India route. Few know it’s a “padrão” ~ a coral-stone cross Portugal used across its explored coastlines to stake territorial and religious claims, not just guide ships. Unlike hostile Mombasa, Malindi’s Sultan welcomed da Gama, striking an alliance that shaped centuries of Indian Ocean trade. Today it’s a gazetted National Monument under National Museums of Kenya care ~ a quiet stone witness to Africa’s entry into global maritime history.
Hidden deep inside the forest lies one of Marsabit's most important pieces of infrastructure... millions of liters of water are stored in Bakuli Dam.

• Carbon Sinks: Healthy rangelands store massive amounts of carbon beneath the soil.
• Wildlife Habitats: They host some of the world's most iconic and endangered species.
• Livelihoods: Millions of pastoralists and ranchers depend on these lands for their way of life.

In Kakili, Isiolo County, Lilian turned farming into steady 💸income by planning what to grow, where to sell, and how to save. By applying smart agricultural practices and financial planning from training provided by @WFP, she now harvests weekly and sells to nearby towns. 🥬🪴
This road doesn’t show up on most maps, but @WFP takes it anyway.
In 2025, we kept moving, navigating some of Kenya’s toughest terrains, to support communities’ health and well-being. Na mwaka ujao, tutazidi! 💪
Every chapter of #TheLook captures a treasured part of my story: moments of growth, self-discovery, and feeling confident in my own skin. There’s no feeling quite like seeing them all bound together—it reminds me how far I’ve come. I’m so proud to finally share it with you on November 4. https://t.co/RjeJ9bEIAt

The African narrative has been dominated by challenges, not solutions. It's time to shift the focus. The urgency of now demands we showcase solutions, especially those driven by the youth. #Africa#Solutions
