Let’s discuss how we can hold our leaders accountable to ensure cleaner, thriving communities across Africa!

In recent months, LiveGreat Foundation has hosted a series of transformative consortiums, empowering the youth and grassroots leaders of Kibra with critical tools to tackle climate change, leadership, and policy advocacy. These sessions have sparked one undeniable truth: real change must start at the grassroots.—but they also beg a larger question:

What does true leadership for sustainable development look like?

As we work tirelessly to see a thriving Kibra, we’re reminded of the immense potential of locally-led initiatives. At our last consortium, young leaders debated issues from climate resilience to economic opportunities for informal settlements. It was clear: the solutions for Kibra must come from within—but with the right partnerships and leadership to amplify our voices.

This brings us to Raila Odinga, a figure synonymous with Kibra’s resilience and a champion of marginalized communities. With his bid for the African Union Chairmanship, Raila’s vision for Pan-African unity is—grassroots empowerment, inclusivity, and sustainability.

But here’s the challenge: 

1.Will leaders like Raila help translate continental policies into tangible benefits for communities like Kibra?

 2.Are we, as citizens, prepared to hold leaders accountable for the promises they make to uplift informal settlements across Africa?

At LiveGreat Foundation, we believe Kibra can be a blueprint for African resilience. Through partnerships, education, and local leadership, we are rewriting the narrative of what’s possible for informal communities. It’s time to ensure voices from places like Kibra are not just heard but acted upon—whether at the national level or the African Union itself.

What do you think? Is this the kind of leadership Africa needs to thrive from Kibra to Cape Town?

Let’s keep the conversation going. 💬👇 #ThrivingKibra #ClimateLeadership #LiveGreatFoundation #RailaOdinga #AUChairmanship #GrassrootsEmpowerment
