Kilimani

Doesn't even want Nairobi City Thunder to progress in the BAL.

But I actually noticed, and I've also said it, he does want, because when he went for the watch party back in, when they were in the BAL, their first game, the official watch party in Kovo, just here in Kilimani.

He would celebrate when

the good shots are being made.

And this guy came up to me.

He was outside CJ's in Kilimani.

And he looked just defeated.

Defeated.

Oyster Bay, because now we have two branches.

We have Kilimani and we have Oyster Bay Runda.

Okay.

Yeah.

We met with Fosia at one of the gyms.

I used to work at one of the gyms here at Kilimani.

I've worked in the sports industry, working in one of the gyms called Altimo here in Kilimani.

So we used to give physiotherapy services to the gym clients.

Yeah.

...

Kilimani could be way above that.

Okay, okay, okay.

Eeh.

as a whole.

And we needed to start to understand how do you serve the middle-income neighborhoods? How do you ensure that you have what they're looking for at the price that they're looking for and the service that they're looking for? Because when you think about Westlands, Kilimani, Lovington, there's a high concentration of restaurants and grocery stores.

But when you move, you know, to the outskirts of Nairobi, the density reduces, right? And therefore, you know, being able to understand how to serve customers better, I think it's one thing that we've done pretty well now over the last four years.

I also get the sense that today, I mean, I think you're talking about 12 towns and cities, more than 6,000 merchants, also 2,200 active riders.

Mm.

And, and what happens is there was a point where, for me, um, I was picking up my kids in one side of town, Kilimani, and then, uh, my wife and my, my, my last born...

I've got three, three kids.

Um, we're going out of town.

Mm.

This is literally through message, SMS equivalent, right? iMessage.

And, and I said, "I'm here in Kilimani," and she's there, and I, we're going to, out of town.

We're going to Gilgil.

That much, yeah.

Eeh, that's why there's a big difference Karen, Muthaiga, Kilimani, Lavington-

Lavington and-

...and this other side.

What is Kijani World? How did it come to be? When did you start even collecting the EU waste? And what sort of interventions or what brought the group together to even start this incredible initiative? Could you walk us through that?

So Kijani World is a youth organization that was formed in Kilimani.

So we had different projects.

We had trees for goals.

We had the e-waste project.

And because in Kibra, we had our environment club and problems in Kibra are different from the one that people in Kilimani face.

So, problems in Kibra come labeled as missed school days, sick children, and lost income.

But problems in Kilimani come as polluted waste, like dams around the physical dumping of waste along the school road and take early waste for example, old phones, chargers, circuit boards contain materials that poison the soil and through Kijani World we collected a ton of e-waste which was a partnership between Wee Centre and Kilimani Primary School and we did a monthly collection and we also did aesthetic drives.
