Non governmental organizations were the new phenomenal that hit kenya in the early 80's ,with the promise of bridging the gap left by the goverment where it came to providing for the communities ,
and so they came and came and billions of shillings solicited from good hearted and hard working people from all over the world started pouring in, but as the good organizations kept coming the only thing most of them did is setup test groups that they could get to show their donors of how successful their projects are and the rest of the cash was tabulated as administrative cost ,this orgs pay so well in terms of salaries that it is every ones dream to be employed by one of them .
It is so amaizing at times how this institutions are disconnected from the people they purport to serve that some can be seen hosting lunch or events at the hilton to talk about the problems facing people at the slum or even throw a capacity building & training seminar and charge ksh 5000,for it ,how dare you charge 5000/- and this people you represent live on less than $1 dollar a day.
Last week alot of people insulted Tray Songz (an american artist) for twitting how he is thanking the Lord for being so blessed not to go through what the people in Kibera are going through,the same tweet was picked by cess and makbul on capital fm and it is beyond ridiculous how many people bashed tray songs on air and yet have never been in there to see what the clamour about the biggest slum in Africa is all about ,mind you this is a slum with over 15 000 know NGO's puRpotedly helping communities in there and handling over ksh 6.7 billion a year,and nothing has changed in there for the last two decades apart from the increase in population "shame on you" no wonder your acronyn stands for "NOTHING GOING ON".
