In Kenya, several communities have taken road construction into their own hands after years of being ignored by the government.
In places like Voi and Ndia, villagers have grown frustrated by the neglect of local and national authorities.
Residents in these areas, tired of waiting for government action, began using their own resources and labor to fix dilapidated roads.
This self-reliant approach involved contributions from the community, including manual labor and financial donations.
For instance, in Sagala, Voi, residents started road repairs by mobilizing funds from well-wishers and using their own manpower, with some even engaging professionals from their own communities to assist with stalled projects.
They undertook this initiative due to the poor condition of roads, which severely affected transportation and access to essential services like education and healthcare.
In Ndia, Kirinyaga County, both young and old participated in road repairs, driven by the hardships of impassable roads, especially during rainy seasons.
