The energy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was electric as 450+ supporters gathered for the 2026 AFL Lunch. A special moment as our Director Liz Mwangi attended in person for the first time in 7 years, strengthening ties between Mukuru and Australia.

1,000+ safe deliveries every year; that is the impact of the Ruben Health Centre in Mukuru. But as funding shifts, our ability to provide free maternal care is under threat. You can be the difference today.

Donate $100 to support a safe delivery.

This morning in Embakasi South, we responded to two fire incidents and stood with families affected.

We visited @Rubencentre, AEF Rueben Primary School and noted the urgent need to improve facilities so our children can learn in a safe and dignified environment.

We also engaged with single mothers and youth, reaffirming our commitment as a broad-based government to support and uplift our communities.

Food support was distributed through Special Programmes and the administration. We thank CS @gk_ruku for his continued support to Nairobi County and the good work he is doing across the country.

Through the @PassarisOrg, five mobility aids were issued to persons with disabilities in the community.

Together with the area MCA, Scolastica Muthoni (Kwa Rueben), and RCC East Sub Region, Werre Simiyu, OGW, and his team, we came together to serve the people. Though from different political formations, we are united in putting wananchi first.

We continue to support the people of Nairobi and align with the President’s development agenda.
