Matatus are the common mode of Transport in Kenya. Drivers and conductors face harsh and exploitative working conditions. We share their experiences using storytelling through videos that are played in Matatus. #NumbersInAction @Equal_Insights @data4change @AdoyoAnthony

After days of networking and learning at the Global Data Festival, together with our partners @data4change, we invited our Global partners for a 'Matatu' experience and dinner where they got to learn more about the 'Margins To Metrics' project.

At the Global Data Festival 2026, Haki Data Lab joined forces with @Data4Change on the discussion, "Who Gets to Count? When Informal Workers Lead Citizen Data in Nairobi", we dived deep into the intersection of data,inclusion, and community action. @AdoyoAnthony @lloydsregister

Research must become a shared process in which those typically positioned as objects are recognised as active producers of knowledge and theorists of their own experiences. @cricketwrites @MathareSJustice @DecogreenNet @UpcyclersHub @data4change @ArctiveCitizens

Marking the Day of Workers at the Dhobi Women Network Park at the Moi Air Airbase.On this day,we recognise and honour the work of informal workers all over the world. When workers are organised,they move from Margins to being counted @MathareSJustice @data4change @lloydsregister

Today, we launch a report of the 'Margins To Metrics' project funded by @lloydsregister and implemented in collaboration with @data4change. #Rights4EveryWorker @UhaiWetu @MathareSJustice @cricketwrites

Better Data. Better Decisions. Better lives. #Data4SDGs #NumbersInAction #FiguresDontLie @cricketwrites @Kenyanmwangi1 @UpcyclersHub @UhaiWetu

Waste pickers face the highest and most cumulative exposure to workplace hazards but are commonly treated as self-employed and excluded from routine protection. Implement the Occupational Safety and Health Act. @lloydsregister @data4change @UpcyclersHub @cricketwrites

The persistence of violence, injury, and hazardous working conditions in informal sectors reflects gaps in the application of existing legal responsibilities, rather than an absence of legal standards. ##Rights4EveryWorker @lloydsregister @data4change

The more, the Merrier. #MerryChristmas2025 from the Haki Data Lab and our dedicated field researchers. #NumbersDontLie

When Data meets Community Action, creativity comes into life. @UhaiWetu @MtoWanguOrg

At Haki Data Lab,we believe that the most compelling data work starts with community questions rather than data capabilities.This way,we not only make data more inclusive and accessible,but also of service to community needs rather than institutional convenience #NumbersInAction
