Dear Kitale, Never cut these kissing canopy that welcomes strangers to your town. Don't commit the same sins as Nairobi This is such a beautiful transition into your vibrant city! I love it #City4People #Green

Dear African leaders, No that you have been to US-Africa summit, Europe-Africa summit, China-Africa summit, Russia-Africa summit... is it possible to use the acquired experiences to organize a Africa-Africa summit, sign deals among yourselves and promote business btw Africans?

Our urban spaces give us room to work, to be social & to contribute to a thriving ecosystem. These spaces can help absorb carbon, produce green energy & also contribute to food security. #WorldCitiesDay, 31 Oct #Innovate4Change #SDG11

“Change is coming at a pace that is too slow for women and girls whose lives depend on it.” - United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres at the Open Debate #UNSCR1325 #WPSin2020

Wow! Mommy in 1991, in solidarity with #UhuruPark. We remember you today as we celebrate #DaimaUhuruPark with deep gratitude for the example that you were to us. We shall not let you down. #iamwangarimaathai Jannik Beginner Green Belt Movement

Neglecting #urbanplanning today will only create a costly situation to solve in the future. This #WorldTownPlanningDay UN-Habitat celebrates our partners that promote sustainable & inclusive planning.

Due to water shortage in Mathare,I have distributed 20,000litres of water to our people in Mlango Kubwa and Haspital wards. Hopefully the Government will make sure that informal settlements have access to clean water otherwise 🤔😭😭. Let’s take care of each other,be safe.

"We are being told we must wash our hands for at least 20 seconds every time we touch things. That water is too much. We don't have money." In informal settlements like Kenya's Kibera, where millions of people live at close quarters, many fear self-isolation is not possible.

The countries that will be most resilient to COVID-19 will be those with the most universal, equitable, responsive, and well-financed health systems. Never have three simple words—health for all—meant so much.

I have no words, so touched to see people living in urban slums stand up against #coronaviruskenya. With less help you stood up. God bless you SHOFCO staff around the country. God bless you SUN members. Thank you local govt. Together we can. SHOFCO

13yr old Yassin Hussein Moyo, was exactly where the curfew needs ppl to be; home. But still got shot in the stomach by police for playing at his balcony. He is now dead. What do we say? How should we say it so police can stop killing the poor? #RestInPeaceYassinMoyo 💔

Urban #safety depends on integrated planning, management & governance systems which lead to more equitable, accessible & effective delivery of land, housing, infrastructure & services — through development, not solely security. 🔗unhabitat.org/topic/safety #SaferCitiesForAll

Systemic gender discrimination, lack of opportunities for young people, stagnant wages. The world of work cannot look the same after the #COVID19 crisis. We must mobilize now for a human-centred & sustainable recovery to create decent jobs for all. un.org/en/coronavirus…

I am impressed and grateful when I meet smart people. But what I admire most is kindness, humility, optimism, generosity and shared knowledge. Be this person.

And yes, it's not only doctors who are dying. It's all of us who are dying. Every doctor who gives their work, their dedication, is us. We are all Dr Mogusu. We are so many who dedicate their lives to study and work but cant get paid or get health benefits. We are angry.

I have a message for all the little girls and boys out there who dream of growing up to be superheroes: Superheroes walk among us. They’re teachers, doctors, scientists, vaccine researchers—and you can grow up to be like them too.

By 2050, 2/3 of the world's population will live in cities. If they're to be healthy and prosperous, equity must be built into social and physical infrastructure—so we can truly have #CitiesForAll. This new report from WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities is a roadmap. wri.org/research/7-tra…

The African and Diaspora Young Leaders Forum at the #USAfricaLeadersSummit22 was an important dialogue between U.S. officials and the African diaspora. I'm looking forward to seeing the innovative ideas we discussed grow and blossom into life-changing and saving solutions.
