Resident Associations comprise professionals and talents with the capacity to transform Nairobi into a modern city.

The city can learn from other African cities, such as Kigali, where residents have adopted volunteering concepts to drive development. The Kenya Alliance of Resident Associations (KARA) has recognized outstanding achievements by Resident Associations in promoting security, preventing drug abuse, and improving water services.
