Kibera

Yeah.

And you know, it was very near Kibera.

Yeah.

Let me tell you, the way I was ejected unceremoniously, I don't even remember my feet touching the ground.

And in areas that do not have good road networks or weather that are extremely isolated from the rest of the world, We will not expect that kinds of digitization to be available.

It's so interesting you talk about those limitations on how you form a map, because I was in Kibera, which is a big slum in Kenya, Nairobi.

It's got a few access roads, but it's mainly sort of dirt tracks between houses because that's how it's been built.

And because of that, cars don't get up it.

Kurogocho? Yes, Kurogocho.

I only know Kibera.

Wow.

So there's Kibera.

And then I think the second biggest is the slum that my parents serve.

Oh, okay, okay.

And part of that has to do with the fact that I read a book called The Internet of Money, and, and in a, in a period of time when I was the chairman of the board of the US UN World Food Program, and we were trying to institute, um, micro transaction, the ca- capacity for digital micro transactions among refugees in places like, um, uh, Lebanon, uh, for Syrian refugees and in Dadaab and other places.

Modeled after what was, uh, the, the organic growth of micro transactions that is in a, in the largest, quote-unquote, "slum" in the world in Kibera in, uh, in Kenya, where I spent a, a, a lot of time and, uh, and, uh, and a lot of thought about how to be able to do this.

And so when I say cryptocurrency, what I really mean is the, um, legitimacy and, uh, revolutionary, uh, um, technology that is the blockchain, which will become a fundamental piece of, of, in my estimation, of how, um, we are, um, adopt and are able to interact with AI-

Okay

There's so many stories, but the one that's coming to mind right now that God has given me is.

About two years ago, we finished a very large project in Nairobi of distributing filters into 81,777 homes of the darkest slum on planet Earth, and it's called the Kibera Slum.

And the first distribution we did in that slum in 2019, we had a man come to the distribution that lived in Kibera and his name was Innocent Barraza.

And he was a Kenyan man.

Okay? It is, these are not sights we are used to seeing, especially when it comes to demonstrations.

Proper political demonstrations those nafanika wapi? Kibera, Kawangware- Mm.

Eh, you know, Mathare.

Mathare, mm.

We don't start making each other feel guilty and stupid.

Your friend lives in Kibera with her boyfriend.

Yeah.

Imagine if that's what she's chosen and that's what she's decided.
