African Social Welfare in Nairobi in 1945: A large amount of money was used by the colonialist to provide social services to Africans in Nairobi .
These included housing which was tackled by both the colonial government and Nairobi municipality to ensure Africans had good houses.
A majority of those who occupied these houses came directly from the reserves and huts but their care and pride in their new homes was remarkable.
A european welfare worker was also employed to help and advise housewives in these new housing estates .
Other facilities and services provided were maternity homes clinics ,Libraries recreational halls ,beer canteens and evening classes for those who wanted to study.
As they summarised it,” If an African is keen on improvement he can attend night classes and if he likes his glass of beer he can buy the native brew at the municipal beer shop.”
