Kibera: Not a Drop to Drink
The long rainy season in Kenya has begun and sudden storms regularly burst over Nairobi. Many welcome the downpours, which signal the end of another dry summer and wash the steamy crowded capital clean each morning.

We love to hear from you! Here's how to reach us:

Submissions
The CLP welcomes submissions of written articles, photography, video and audio for publication on our website. Even better, all work published by the CLP is also pitched to a network of independent media sources through the CLP Newswire - expanding the scope and impact of your work. If you are new to journalism, we are happy to help you develop story ideas and shape your article into a strong feature piece, editorial, sidebar, or CLP Blog entry.
To submit work to us, the first thing to do is get in touch. Write to us at submissions@clpmag.org and let us know what story, photo essay, video or audio piece you are thinking about covering. If you don’t have ideas yet but are planning to travel or visit a place or organization you think might be interesting to readers, let us know and we can help you come up with story ideas. If you are interested in writing first-person narrative pieces reflecting on politics and travel, the CLP Blog might be a good fit for your work.
We can’t pay our reporters: Our goal is not to make money or sell advertising (of which we do neither), but to build the strength of independent journalism, get new voices involved, and challenge the exclusive and elitist corporate models that currently dominate mainstream media.
But we can promise that you will receive a quick response from us, and help along the way as you report your story. So send that email! We look forward to hearing from you.
