Madaraka Day, Kenya 🇰🇪

28/05/2026

Sixteen students. sixteen families. One tragedy that should never have happened.

As we grieve the lives lost in this devastating dormitory fire, we are forced to ask a painful but necessary question:

When disaster strikes in your community at 2am who responds?In many countries, the answer is a Community Emergency Response Team. Trained, organized, community-based volunteers who bridge the critical gap between when tragedy strikes and when professional help arrives. People who live in the same estate, the same village, the same school community and who know exactly what to do.

Kenya does not yet have this structure. That must change.

Every minute in an emergency without a trained first responder is a minute that costs lives. Firefighters, ambulances, and police cannot be everywhere. But communities can be. Neighbors can be. Teachers can be. Parents can be.

A national Community Emergency Response Team framework would mean:
✅ Trained volunteers in every school, estate, and workplace
✅ Communities that know how to respond to fires, floods, and road crashes
✅ Fewer preventable deaths while waiting for professional help
✅ A culture of preparedness that protects every Kenyan

These 16 students deserved a community that was ready. Every child in a dormitory tonight deserves the same.

We are calling on the Government of Kenya, county governments, the Ministry of Interior, and all disaster management stakeholders to prioritize the establishment of a national CERT framework now, not after the next tragedy.

Join us in this call. Share this post. Tag your MP, your governor, your county disaster management office.

The time to build this system is before the next fire. That time is now.

🕯️ Rest in peace to our young ones gone too soon.

🚨 ROAD ACCIDENT ALERT | CHEPSIR, KERICHO COUNTY 🚨

We have received reports of a road traffic accident involving a Climax Bus at Chepsir, Kericho County.

Our thoughts are with all those affected. We urge motorists and members of the public in the area to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary congestion around the scene to allow emergency responders easy access.

⚠️ If you are near the scene:
✅ Do not crowd the accident area
✅ Avoid sharing unverified casualty information
✅ Give way to ambulances and emergency vehicles
✅ If trained, offer safe first aid assistance only when it is safe to do so
✅ Contact emergency services if additional support is needed

Road safety saves lives. We encourage all road users to remain vigilant, especially during high-risk travel periods.
