Voices.254

Voices254 is a living record of the untold, unseen and unheard stories that make up the Nairobi River, the lifeline of the city.
--------
The Nairobi River Basin (Mathare, Ngong & Nairobi Rivers) is the lifeline of the City. It shaped Nairobi's livelihoods, settlements, sustenance, and rhythm.
As Nairobi grew, the people living closest to its rivers remained largely unseen, quietly bearing the weight of its neglect as the Rivers were choked, polluted, diverted, and built on. They have also experienced the Rivers' wrath when it wreaks havoc through seasonal flooding and the resulting destruction.
Voices254 is a living record of these unheard voices who have lived the realities of Nairobi’s Lifeline - its glorious past, polluted present and hopeful future.
Watch them tell their story, one voice at a time.
And tell us your river story, too.
