Living in a makeshift shelter by the roadside opposite Green Park, a Rastaman in Nairobi had long endured public neglect and empty promises. Many, including pastors, had once offered help but never followed through—leaving him bitter and mistrusting. Recently, the Nairobi City Environment Chief Officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, visited him, and chose compassion over criticism. Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.
Mosiria helped the man take a long-awaited shower, bought him new clothing, provided a meal, and then committed to paying three months’ rent to get him into a more stable home. He will also connect the man with counselling services and help clear the makeshift structure he was living in. Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.
The transformation was visible: from being dismissed as “useless,” the man now stood “handsome, dignified, and human,” Mosiria said—just like others. The act serves as a reminder that restoring dignity sometimes requires simple acts of kindness, and that people living on the streets deserve compassion, not scorn. Tuko.co.ke – Kenya news.
