The Agnes Kagure–led Mbogi na Mama team visited Mathare North and delivered essential household items to more than one hundred families affected by recent floods, according to a Facebook post she shared.
The visit focused on families who are still struggling after heavy rains disrupted their lives. Many of them lost basic items such as bedding, clothes, and food supplies. Some homes were damaged, leaving families to either repair quickly or look for temporary places to stay.
The support that was delivered was meant to help ease this immediate burden and give families something to rely on as they try to recover.
Mathare North is one of the areas in Nairobi that is often affected when heavy rains occur.
Flooding in such places is not a new problem, but each time it happens, the impact is serious. Water enters homes, destroys belongings, and interrupts daily routines. Children miss school, small businesses are affected, and families are left trying to rebuild with limited resources.
This is why interventions like this one are important, especially in the days immediately after the floods when needs are still very high.
From the message shared online, it was clear that the visit was not only about giving out items. It also focused on being present and connecting with the people.
The team spent time with residents, listened to their experiences, and saw the situation for themselves. This kind of direct engagement gives a clearer picture of what people are going through compared to relying only on reports or second-hand information.
The situation in Mathare North also highlights wider challenges in Nairobi. Flooding continues to affect several parts of the city whenever there are heavy rains.
Poor drainage systems and unplanned settlements make the problem worse. Even when the rains stop, the effects remain.
Families have to clean up, repair what they can, and slowly try to return to normal life.
During the visit, there was also recognition of the effort that residents put into their daily lives. Many people in these areas work hard to support their families, but events like floods can quickly undo that progress.
Losing household items or having a home damaged creates extra pressure, especially for those who are already living with limited income.
This makes timely support very important.
The Mbogi na Mama team used the visit to show a practical side of leadership. Instead of only speaking about challenges, they took action by going to the ground and offering help. This also gave residents a chance to speak directly about their struggles and needs.
As she prepares for a possible run for Nairobi governor in 2027, Agnes Kagure is positioning herself as a leader who focuses on direct engagement with residents and practical responses to everyday challenges.
Her involvement in activities like the Mathare North visit reflects an approach that goes beyond statements, showing an effort to understand issues on the ground and respond to them in real time.
