Imagine this: you’re in a hall, waiting to receive a life-saving drug – one that could protect not just you, but your entire family. At the entrance, you’re asked how many people are in your household, and you’re charged accordingly.
A few minutes later, the hall fills up, and the doors are closed. It’s time to receive what you paid for.
An official scans the crowd, then glances at the boxes of medication with growing concern. They announce that there aren’t enough doses for everyone.
Then comes a “solution.” The crowd is divided into groups:
-
The first five people are placed in Group A and handed five doses.
-
The next ten are labelled Group B and receive ten doses.
-
Everyone else is categorized as Group C, and given whatever remains.
From this, we see the reality:
-
You paid and earned your place in the hall.
-
But unlike Groups A and B, your family isn’t guaranteed access to the drug.
-
The majority are left in a state of uncertainty.
In many ways, this scenario mirrors our current reality. A lack of social inclusion has infiltrated nearly every system of service delivery, including healthcare, education, housing, and more, leaving individuals, communities, and entire regions behind.
This isn’t just a bureaucratic issue, it’s a human one.
`Where` is committed to confronting this problem head-on by creating a free, accurate, and unique digital address for every Kenyan.
With a verified address, every resident is effectively saying: This is where I live. That information must matter to decision-makers. It should influence how resources are distributed, who gets counted, and who gets served.
Because inclusion starts with being seen.
