Celebrating and empowering the remarkable women of Manyatta, Kenya, through creative planning strategies and inclusive policies, fostering a positive transformation within the community and opening doors to new opportunities and prosperity.

In Manyatta, a Kenyan informal settlement, women face significant challenges that hinder their empowerment and recognition. They endure limited access to education, poor health conditions, and barriers to capital and job opportunities. Regrettably, their contributions to the workforce are often overlooked, impeding their economic and social development. This pressing issue calls for urgent action.

We must implement pilot planning strategies and gender-inclusive policies to create social spaces and support systems that empower women. By fostering gender equity, economic prosperity, and social integration in Manyatta, we can transform lives and build a brighter future for the community.

Alternative Futures of New Rochelle

SERVICES

This project focuses on the future of Manyatta, Kisumu's largest informal settlement, examining its rapid growth, development pressures, and untapped human capital. Rather than employing a rigid "master planning" approach, the project advocates for "pilot planning" to allow flexible, short-term goals that don't limit long-term options, emphasizing infrastructural and gender-specific issues. Acknowledging the significant role of women in Manyatta's micro-economy, the project aims to empower them and change cultural perceptions, while also highlighting the importance of social spaces and policies to reinforce the settlement's socio-economic identity.
