This is worrying. We've only started using robots ourselves.

@NancyjDent @RESCUEorg The power of Twitter. I always wondered where you got to Heather. Good move.

With the #TumukundeArrest, #Museveni is showing that he’ll be following the usual strategy of repression to make sure he stays on for another four years. But could the #Uganda elections in 2021 be the breaking point?

Dr Catherine Hamlin passed away peacefully at her home in Addis Ababa on March 18th. She was 96. In this time of sorrow, we reflect upon her life which was a gift to some of the world’s most vulnerable women.

Kenya's locust plague now worst in 50years: 20 swarms of 80million insects and covering 2 to 4 kilometres each are entering Kenya at different points from Somalia. To prevent blindness from locusts flying into eyes, peeps wearing eye protectors. https://t.co/fRxtdC2KgR

Big news for Burundi. On Sunday, ruling CNDD-FDD chose Evariste Ndayishimiye as candidate for the May presidential elections. Delegates validated Ndayishimiye’s candidacy, whose name had been put forward by President Pierre Nkurunziza

When operating in East Africa, without the support of a large, international organisation, things can get tough & risky, making the work you try to do so much harder.

But Kushiriki aims to develop a community for such people, to give advice that will help make working here safer

[kushiriki @kushiriki]

Are you a local NGO operating anywhere in East Africa?

If so, we'd love to feature you in our monthly spotlight on local NGOs, highlighting the amazing work they do in difficult conditions.

Get in touch with us via Twitter :)

Let's share.

[kushiriki @kushiriki]

3/ Finally, each month, we want to highlight small organisations doing amazing work. If you'd like to be considered, get in touch.

There's loads to do on our website, so check it out and get sharing!

Let's Kushiriki!

[kushiriki @kushiriki]

1/ On our site, you can add recommendations in a range of different categories, from accommodation to medical, across eight East African countries.

There's also a news section where you can catchup on relevant stories to do with development in the region.

[kushiriki @kushiriki]

2/ You can read up on best practices in different countries or learn more about systems of emergency relief.

We've also got a blog called 'Tales from the Field' where we publish hilarious, dramatic or downright unbelievable stories from you, the humanitarians across the region
