The Kenya Red Cross Society is providing training to the Sonko Rescue Team, with the first group of trainees attending classes on First Aid at the Kenya Red Cross Training School.
This training aims to equip the team with critical knowledge and skills to effectively respond to emergencies.
The Sonko Rescue Team has gained popularity among slum dwellers in the city, despite being viewed as a controversial outfit.
The Nairobi county government faces challenges in responding to all emergencies, and the national government appears to have tacitly endorsed the Sonko Rescue Team initiative.
