Why Sasa News exists

A lot happens in Kenya every day. Sasa News exists to make it make sense: the stories worth your attention, explained clearly, without the noise.

We write for young Kenyans who want to understand their country, their money, their communities and their culture, and who don’t have time for jargon.

What we cover

News that matters

Politics, money, education, health and the counties: what changed, and what it means for you.

Context, not just headlines

Explainers and guides that break big topics into plain language and practical steps.

Culture and community

The people, sounds and ideas shaping Kenya, plus opportunities and things to do.

How we work

  • We check facts with more than one source before we publish.
  • We say clearly when something is opinion, sponsored or an example.
  • We correct mistakes openly. Spotted one? Tell us.
  • We never ask readers to pay to apply for an opportunity we list.

The team

Sasa News is made by a small team of editors, reporters and designers in Nairobi, working with contributors across Kenya. You can meet the people behind the stories on our authors page.
