We are away on immersion; offices reopen May 27

From May 18 to 26 our offices will be closed and the entire Twaweza team will be in Central Kenya on immersion. We stay in people's homes, share community responsibilities (hopefully without causing too much damage), and generally go with the flow. The point is to challenge our assumptions, and get a better sense of our contexts, particularly about how and which citizens make things happen. Please bear with us while we are outside the office.
