Kiratina

Kiratina.
We also routinely visit the elderly, disabled, and single moms in Karatina, just across the highway from us, to distribute washable diapers, washable sanitary kits, and much-needed food hampers. Kiratina is one of the oldest estates in Nakuru. Upon entering, one is greeted by unpaved feeder roads, starkly contrasting the urban development in neighboring areas. Despite its historical significance, Kiratina struggles with a lack of basic infrastructure. Public schools and health facilities are nonexistent within the estate, forcing children to travel long distances to school.
To attend school, the children must cross the busy Nakuru-Nairobi highway, risking their safety, to reach institutions like Madaraka, Hyrax Hill, or Naka Primary School, which are located several kilometres away. This glaring gap in public services underscores the enduring neglect faced by Kiratina’s residents.
