Interesting Kenyan Sites – Best of 2010

A while back, we started a small experiment where we’d write about cool Kenyan sites that we had come across. This experiment quickly got a life of its own and became a permanent weekly feature on Like Chapaa (thanks to all of you!).

Here are the 10 best sites that we covered in the year that was 2010:
(in no particular order)

• GetH20 – A (serious) game which simulates the complexity of life in the slums, the scarcity of resources, how to deal with them and prevent escalation of conflict. More.
• EasyFax – this is a website that provides virtual fax services, in Kenya! More.
• Nairobi Swahili this is the website of one Oloo, a Swahili teacher in Nairobi. More.
• Mara Enkipai a website of the Mara Enkipai Safari camp. More.
• Zynde – helps you manage your money better. More.
• Mukuru – allows you to quickly and easily send money to Kenyan mobile phones. More.
• Zetu – made in the mould of www.groupon.com, offering deals whereby you can buy stuff at discounted prices. More.
• GotIssuez – this is a place where you can rant and rate issues that affect you. More.
• eManamaba – promises to make travel simple and hassle free. More.
• BidhaaTele is a massive marketplace where you can find bidhaa tele to buy. More.

4. The Kenya Teachers’ Service Commission – nothing short of shameful. More.
5. The Kenya Ministry of Education – does it even work? More.

What do you think of our list? Did we miss anything?

May you all have a lovely 2011! See you next year.
