Emergency hospital in Uganda by Renzo Piano built with rammed earth. One of my favorite features asides from the fact that it was built with rammed earth, is the extended roof eaves 👌🏼

This is an appreciation of Dennis Ombachi and what he has created through cooking. He represents the kind of creativity Kenya has and is not being allowed to develop and flourish. The majority of young Kenyans can do amazing stuff in all sectors, not just content creation. But GoK, in the name of "order," keeps stifling Kenyan innovation, and then imposes a "policy" to make innovation happen. It prevents innovation of the majority of people from flourishing, then shows off to foreigners that the one or two who escaped are a successful result of their policy.

Ombachi also exemplifies what I say about education. Education helps us reinvent ourselves, modify our dreams, spot opportunities, and be diverse. You can be political, sportive, and a great cook. You don't need to stick to one pathway. You can be all these things and still be a great citizen.

Most of the people in Ministry of Education and the Education NGOs don't understand this. It's not that they're against it. It's that they just don't get it. That's the wall of deafness that infects our politicians as well. But Kenyans know better. We have to push for what Dennis does to be the norm.

Our extended elephant family has celebrated another motherhood milestone! On 1st July, 16-year-old Kalama gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, who we’ve named Kapuki. As is tradition among many of our ex-orphans, she chose to return ‘home’ immediately after giving birth, so we could meet her new daughter.

Here’s mum and calf, alongside Chaimu — another ex-orphan — visiting us this morning!

Chamboi the rhino and Twiggy the giraffe have been walking buddies for a long time. This evening stroll reminded us of a similar scene from exactly a year ago: Chamboi has grown outwards and Twiggy upwards over the past 12 months, but they still enjoy each other’s company enormously!

Tall or small, we make the same promise to every orphan we rescue: to love them, guide them, and care for them — until they’re ready to reclaim their place in the wild.

#Breaking4 was about showing the world that we have to push ourselves. This one was for all the young girls and women out there to show that you have to believe in yourself in everything you do.

An extraordinary story from Ithumba Head Keeper Benjamin🔊

Several years ago, this bull appeared and calmly walked into a stockade. Such behaviour is highly unusual for a wild elephant — so Benjamin and the team went to investigate: They found he had been struck in the ankle by an arrow.

Once he saw his message for help had been received, the bull walked back out of the stockade and waited. We mobilised the SWT/KWS Tsavo Vet Unit, who treated his injury. Joint wounds can have lethal implications, so this intervention very likely saved his life.

Despite being wild from birth and wounded by human hands, he understood we offered a place of sanctuary in the landscape - likely communicated to him by our ex-orphans and other elephants we have treated over the years.

The bull has returned from time to time ever since — as he did at the weekend — just checking in and saying hello to those who came to his aid.

Kenyan scientists have discovered that larvae of the darkling beetle can digest plastic, potentially offering a solution to plastic waste. Despite producing only 5% of the world's plastic, Africa is now the second most plastic-polluted continent.

This morning, I stepped out with a firm resolve—to sit in peaceful protest until our brothers were safely returned home. My hope was that the police would recognize the fragile state of our nation and choose restraint over force, respecting the right of citizens to peacefully demand justice.

But that hope was shattered. One officer intentionally launched a teargas canister at me from close range, striking the lower back of my head. The sharp, searing pain brought tears to my eyes—not just from the injury, but from experiencing the cowardice of attacking a seated woman from behind. If it weren’t for @LavaniMila shielding me, another officer was closing in with a rungu.

I insisted on staying at the chain despite the injury, requesting first aid on-site. But when I stood up, dizziness overtook me, and I passed out. Thanks to the quick response of medics, my vitals were checked in the ambulance. They cleaned and dressed my wound, hydrated me, and administered painkillers. I decided not to go to the hospital, feeling stable enough to return to the streets.

Once rested, I rejoined comrades marching to Central Police Station to demand the release of those arrested. What we faced there was more violence. Brute force was used to chase us away. I was slapped, and a rubber bullet was fired in my direction. I witnessed a woman whose finger was yanked so hard it bent, like a river meandering.

I am home now, physically safe, but my heart remains on the streets. This evening, we would have been lighting camp lamps and singing songs of revolution. Instead, we were met with tear gas and bullets for simply asking, Wako wapi?!—

We demand justice and accountability. And we will not stop until we get it.
