Huduma Means Services

Philip Thigo grew up in Kibera, the largest slum in Nairobi. After studying at Princeton and working abroad, he decided to move back to Kenya and use his skills in mobile technology to promote democracy, civil participation, and political accountability.

Together with a brilliant team of developers and democracy and people’s rights advocates, he developed a platform for reporting missed community services.


They named it ‘Huduma,’ which means Services in Swahili.
