Support KNN · M-Pesa · From KES 50
Buy KNN a soda
Kibra News Network is free to read and run by a small team in Kibra. A soda is KES 50. It pays for a reporter’s airtime, the bus fare to a story and the hosting that keeps this site and The Kibra Brief going. No paywall, no perks. Just thanks.
Payments are handled by BuyMeSoda, a Kenyan service that takes M-Pesa. You pick an amount, enter your M-Pesa number and approve the prompt on your phone. We never see your PIN.
How it works
Tap a soda
Pick KES 50, 100, 200 or any amount in multiples of 50. The page opens in a new tab.
Enter your M-Pesa number
Type the number you want to pay from. No account or app to install.
Approve on your phone
An M-Pesa prompt appears. Enter your PIN on your phone and you are done.
Where the money goes
Reporters
Airtime, data and bus fare for the people who go to the meeting, the court and the market so you do not have to.
The site and the Brief
Hosting, the newsletter and the tools that keep kibranewsnetwork.co.ke online and fast on a phone.
Nothing else
No salaries for executives, no ads bought with it. Small money, spent on the news.
Other ways to help. Tip us a story from your street. Forward The Kibra Brief to one person. If you run a business, advertise with KNN.
