Kibra News Network (KNN) is a hyperlocal-first newsroom rooted in Kibra that zooms out to Nairobi, Kenya, Africa and the world. Our promise is simple: a reader in Laini Saba or Soweto East should be able to find their street and their planet in the same place.

Why we exist
Kibra is one of the most written-about places in Africa and one of the least listened to. Too often the reporting arrives from outside, stays for a day and leaves with a photograph. KNN reports from the inside — patiently, accurately and with the people who live here.
What we cover
Housing, water, schools, health, markets, security and sport in Kibra and Nairobi; national politics and the economy in Kenya; and the African and global stories that shape life at home — from trade and climate to football.
Our logo
The rooftops are Kibra’s own skyline; the signal rising from them is our promise — that this community’s story is broadcast, loud and clear, to the world.
How we work
We publish in plain English, we label sponsored content, we credit our sources and we correct our mistakes in public. Read our Editorial Policy and Corrections page, or get in touch.
Tell us what we are missing
KNN is built on tips from readers who live the story. If something is happening on your street, we want to hear about it.
