Following a partnership between ALIN and the ACK Diocese of
Kajiado, in mid last year, Isinya Maarifa Centre has since been moved to St. Patrick’s
church compound.

More people are going to benefit since it is more accessible
compared to its former premises at the MRTC. The church is also planning to
establish an all-round Educational Centre, and this move is quite convenient.

The services that were being offered for free at the Maarifa
Centre are now being offered at a low fee. They include library and internet
services, and also computer services including training.

The future is quite bright for the residents of Isinya, with formation
of linkages to create a fully-fledged information Centre. Plans are underway to
bring more partners on board, who include the Kenya Library Services, Practical
Action and some Government Ministries; to provide the necessary information
materials for the community.
All these activities seek to have an empowered community of
Isinya and beyond, because information is power.
