Every 2 years Kenyans lose their household property because of flooding. Since this weather of heavy rains is now permanent the only solution is to build raised homes

Most of Kenya is bone dry with the occasional flash flood in riverine communities.

There’s very little need for stilt housing in Kenya. Instead we need proper drainage of our plots, farms and cities and respect for nature; ie proper vegetation cover, no building in the water escape channels etc.

I am saying this with places like Budalangi in mind. I noticed this time Budalangi is not in the headlines

good

Mi husema zile shida tuko nazo ni juu ya population influx. Europe went through the same during the early 1900s as they experienced their population climax. England and Germany reached 50 million residents in the 1920s. They had slums and other problems; in fact, poverty was so rife these countries had to pay their citizens to emigrate to America. Today, Africa is going through the same but it is regarded as primitiveness.

Kibaki built dykes and storm drains for them.

Are we also rapidly industrializing as they were in those countries? And which new continents have we capture for our excess population ?

Currently China is exporting hundreds of thousands to Africa. It has also industrialized.

How is Africa dealing with the issue?

I’m not joining the “primitiveness” chorus btw. Just pointing out that our problem may not be novel but our approach to it is wanting.

I was told that much of Kenya has dried up due to periodic flash floods in coastal communities. In Kenya, there is very little need to build houses on stilts. Pete and his team https://petesuen.com/ saved me a tremendous amount of money. Comparing the best scaffolding rental services in my area quickly was invaluable, rather than having to call them all and check them out and then get hurt over the phone for the next five months. So I advise you to contact them specifically to avoid various problems in building houses. hope my comment was helpful to you
