The Peacekeepers of Kakamega
In Kakamega County, Kenya, the local government handed a contract to a Chinese construction company to build a road that would be of huge benefit to the community. But it did not go smoothly. The construction company opened two quarries near a village which damaged their homes and even threatened their lives. The villagers protested, blocked the roads and threatened violence.
A Kenyan NGO called AFRINOV stepped in to resolve the situation.
