KeNation
Friends,
The one silver lining in this pandemic is the way humanity is showing up for each other.
Whether it’s a counselor offering free online sessions, a church switching to an online service to quell the anxiety of its congregants, creatives working overtime to develop health and information materials that are accessible to the common man, people giving up homes for others to be quarantined or individuals donating to food banks for informal settlements. The best of us is truly showing up.
Welcome to #KeNation where we profile the individuals and their initiatives showing up for Kenyans during this time.

#TBDecade
Haiya! Kumbe? Imagine! Just like that its mwaka mpya and a new decade. For those of us who thought 2020 is far – mwaka imefika! If like us you are feeling a tad nostalgic that the first decade of the century is already done and dusted …let’s take a moment and say goodbye properly. Join us as we go down memory lane, celebrating the best of Kenya between 2010 and 2019. A good throwback always reminds us how far we have come, and truly reflection is always good for the soul.
Happy new year and welcome to a ten-year journey back in time!

#Ke2019People
2019 has been a different year for each one of us, but we have made it to December, and that is something worth smiling about. Throughout the year, Kenya has made global headlines for a number of reasons – and as is our Paukwa mantra, we would like to focus on the exceptional feats some of our fellow Kenyans have achieved through their little hummingbird deeds.
Welcome to #Ke2019People – a series that features the stories of seven Kenyans who have gained global recognition for their work. They are the trailblazers in their respective fields but ultimately, they are the wananchi who have harnessed their talents and honed their skills.

#KeJamhuri
The journey to Kenya’s independence began long before that evening in December of 1963 when the Kenyan flag was hoisted for the first time. It began before January 1960 when the Kenya constitutional conference was held at Lancaster House in London. It began before the emergency crisis was declared in October of 1952. And even before Mary Leakey found the first Proconsul Africanus skull on Rusinga Island in 1948.
The first Jamhuri Day was celebrated on 12th December 1964, exactly one year after we’d achieved independent rule. We invite you to journey with us through a new campaign – #KeJamhuri – where we will explore the lesser-known people, the familiar places and Kenyan products that led to and continue to be a reminder of our independence.
Welcome to #KeJamhuri!

#KeSchools
The scramble for Africa is a historical time period that we have either heard or read or learned about. One of the things that preceded the wars for the respective African states was missionary work. From around the world, missionaries docked at the different shores and began the work – and part of this work was establishing mission stations that had literary programs. In Kenya, we had missionary stations established at the Coast and in the Western Region, and later, the Colonial administration established education institutions for the European settlers. With time, more schools were established including those solely for Africans.
Education has made us who we are and when we think about the things we know; we credit the textbooks and the institutions that gave us an understanding of these things. At Paukwa, we are fascinated by our country’s history and we welcome you to a new story campaign that looks back at how at the first schools in Kenya.

#MyKenyanHero
At Paukwa, we believe that heroes are all around us, and for #MyKenyanHero, our team shares the stories of our personal heroes – the ones a little closer to home who have inspired us through their kindness, generosity, tenacity, and greatness. They are the hummingbirds in our lives and ultimately, our idea of who heroes are.
Enjoy these personal narratives from the members of our team.

#PaukwaKids
In Kenya, we celebrate people across all ages and in different spaces. For this story series, we want to especially celebrate the under-18s who are venturing into their different careers by working to perfect their talents. What we love about each of these children is how #limitless they are, and we hope they can continue to be an inspiration to more Kenyans.
