I would like to share some unforgettable moments with you as Adopt A Light is recognized as a " best practice" for innovative cities alongside Kenya's own Safaricom Mpesa. This is a proud moment to be Kenyan.
Kenya scooped two UN Habitat Business Awards 2009 awards out of five awards while the other three went to Mexico, China and India. Today we should affirm that we are all right in spite of everything that has passed and rather than waste our energy on those things that pull us down, lets celebrate each other and move forward together!]]></description>
