In February last year, Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero officially launched an ambitious project aimed at turning Nairobi’s Jeevanjee Gardens into a modern, community-friendly recreational park. This will involve a three-phase renovation to the tune of Sh30 million.

The renovation will see Jeevanjee have features like Wi-Fi, a children’s playground, an amphitheatre, a pergola and stands for temporary exhibitions.
