De Kibera Empowerment-wandeltocht

Moses offers an incredible insight into Kibera life through experience as well as story telling. This was a very humbling tour, getting a rare chance to interact with local people and see first hand their struggles and their warmth and friendships. I was particularly grateful for meeting Elizabeth at empower women and hearing how she and a group of women saved to start a business. I recommend you buy some groceries (eg maize flour, rice, washing powder nappies, sanitary pads) and candies for the kids - a few dollars spent will go a long way with the families of Kibera.

A fantastic tour from Moses. Very personal and truly enlightening. Moses explains growing up Kibera, his personal journey and showcase a number of initiatives/ enterprises within Kibera! Lightly recommended

I booked the tour on very short notice, yet Moses was flexible enough to meet me despite some family issues. The tour was incredibly inspiring and insightful. I felt absolutely safe and Moses also managed to show me how a lot of bad images about Kibera are related to misconceptions. The places we visited were prime examples of creativity and innovation. I would definitely recommend this tour. Just make sure to put enough sunscreen and to bring water.

Moses is a great guide. This tour was a very authentic experience, with the visit to his home a very humbling experience. Moses is very knowledgeable about Kibera and politics and gave me a lot of information, including his family and background. There were no safety issues at all, in fact all people we met on our way were very friendly and welcoming. The visit to the bone workshop and the women empowerment shop were also great, thanks to everyone for showing me around! We couldn't visit the waste-to-energy project due to flooding but this didn't hamper the experience.

Unusual and eye opening experience, highly recommended. Moses is a very genuine and honest person deeply caring about the community and working towards making their lives better

Moses delivered a genuine, moving, and eye-opening experience for the 4 of us (we made 2 separate bookings for 2). The tour started from the front of the Prestige Nakumatt mall, where Moses introduced himself, his life story, and his motivation for leading these tours. We then departed on foot to Kibera, just a few minutes walk away. After a few brief stops, we arrived at Moses’ home, a room no larger than 12’x12’, where we were invited in for an hour to hear about the history of Kibera, the political climate in which it exists, the services that are (or more likely not) available to residents, and how residents manage to make a life for themselves despite the unjust circumstances. Moses shared candidly some of his own personal struggles and his commitment to keeping hope and positivity. The last 2 hours of the tour, we walked through 4 neighborhoods of Kibera, including along the railway, and visited a cooperative of women making jewelry / machine-stitched products, a business making jewelry and products from waste animal bone and metals recovered from old padlocks, and a bakery. If you care to learn something real about the human spirit while in Nairobi, meet Moses and listen carefully.

Thank you Moses for a great tour! Moses is a very caring and considerate guide and a good storyteller. He invited me into his home and showed me around various parts of Kibera as we walked around for the entire morning. Would definitely recommend doing this tour to understand more about daily life for people living in Kibera.
