Yes, Kawangware is a lot of Kikuyus with Somalians and other tribes sprinkled in. I have a hard time believing that 250,000 people in Kibera are all Luos. There are Luo communities in Nairobi but are small. But I was there, what 1980 to 1986, and things could have changed a lot, although I visited Kawangware in 2023.

I was actually in Bayad, Egypt, shortly after the Busses left, where Boivin drilled that well near the Nile. Sarah is slightly misremembering the name of the HDP. Kibera is south of Kawangware. It's primarily Luo (Obama's tribe), while Kawangware is primarily Kikuyu. Marshall On Thursday, August 22, 2024 at 11:04:06 AM EDT, Sarah H. Buss via OE < oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:
In Kawangware there were several sources: when we first arrived women carried it from the canals. Then the men put on waders and carried it from Nile for us to put iodine in so we could use it for drinking and bathing; then Cairo patrons gave us $100. to buy a drilling bit I think it was. Wayne Nelson, Gene Boivin and village men choose a spot about 200 feet from the Nile to begin drilling by hand to get fresh water. It wasn’t very deep but it was clean. A hand pump was installed so villagers and ourselves then had clean water. Did I get that right? I am sure that you, Jo Nelson, have a better memory than I, so please elaborate and correct me if necessary. Sarah Buss Sent from my iPhone

Yes, too long to remember details, but I do remember going there and teaching a Village leaders institute. We ate arrowroot and a concoction called kitheri. Judi

Was there an ICA project by this named Kibera out side Nairobi? The spelling is a bit different than I remember.
