The Voice for Palestine Launches Gaza Medical Campaign at Jamia Mosque, Nairobi

Nairobi, Kenya - October 10, 2024:

A consortium of Kenyan organizations, collectively known as "The Voice for Palestine," has launched a major medical relief campaign at Jamia Mosque in Nairobi. The initiative, spearheaded by the Jamia Mosque Committee, the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM), the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF), the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK), the Kenya Association of Muslim Medical Professionals (KAMMP), and several mosques across Nairobi, aims to raise at least $500,000 in aid for the people of Gaza.

In light of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the campaign seeks to provide much-needed medical supplies and equipment to assist those affected by the conflict. The consortium is rallying support from both local and international donors to meet the growing healthcare needs of the Gaza population, particularly in hospitals and clinics struggling to cope with limited resources.

Speaking at the launch, representatives from the various organizations emphasized the urgent need for solidarity with the people of Gaza. "Our brothers and sisters in Gaza are facing unimaginable challenges. It is our responsibility as a community to step up and offer support, especially in critical areas like healthcare," said one of the leaders at the event.

The Voice for Palestine has called upon all Kenyans, regardless of faith, to contribute to this vital cause. Donations can be made through various channels, including at Jamia Mosque and affiliated mosques around Nairobi.

The campaign has already garnered significant attention, with leaders from different faith communities expressing their support. The consortium aims to mobilize a united effort to ensure that the necessary funds are raised to provide lifesaving medical assistance to the people of Gaza.

The Gaza Medical Campaign will continue over the coming weeks, with regular updates on the funds raised and the medical supplies that will be delivered to Gaza through partner organizations.

Green Gold Rush: UK-Funded Forum Links African Innovators with Investors to Build a Cleaner Future.

Nairobi, Kenya, By George Mutua. The air in Nairobi was thick with more than just the usual buzz of a city on the move today. Inside a conference hall, it crackled with the electricity of ambition and the smell of a greener future. More than 150 of Africa’s brightest green manufacturing entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders gathered for the Pan-African Green Business Building (GBB) Forum , a high-stakes meeting designed to turn climate-positive ideas into booming, job-creating businesses. Funded by the UK government through its flagship Manufacturing Africa programme, the one-day event was a vibrant marketplace of innovation. Its mission was simple but audacious: to connect the capital with the continent's most promising green startups, unlocking what research suggests could be a $2-4 billion a year market by 2030, and creating over 200,000 jobs in the process. Nairobi was the natural home for this gathering. Fresh off its crown as the continent's top destination f...

KPC Foundation and eKitabu Forge a New Blueprint to Rescue Kenya’s Isolated Creatives.

Rachel Gathoni, the Kenya Pipeline Company Managing Trustee and Foundation Manager Ngecha, Kiambu, Kenya, by George Mutua . In the shadow of a bustling Nairobi that often races past its art, a quiet but determined revolution is taking root. At the Mlango Farm artistic community in Ngecha, a serene landscape of sustainable agriculture and deep creative history, the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has launched the Sanaa initiative. This is not merely another corporate social responsibility event. Instead, it is a deliberate, structured attempt to diagnose and treat the chronic isolation and market fragmentation that have long plagued Kenya's writers, visual artists, and musicians. For one day, over fifty creatives, ranging from Gen Z digital poets to veteran painters who have been wielding brushes for forty years, sat elbow-to-elbow with corporate leaders. Their mission was brutally simple yet historically elusive: to stop creating alone and start ...
