About

A small publication about a large idea.

The Neighbourhood Manifesto is a reader-supported publication started by Victor Majirani. It began as a simple question — what makes a place a home? — and grew into twelve episodes, a growing collective, and a quiet conviction that the street is worth fighting for.

How it works

Open and anonymous

Anyone can read, and anyone can sign. There is no account, no sign-in, no gate. The manifesto belongs to whoever shows up.

Voluntary support

The publication is supported by readers who choose to give, from as little as KSh 10. It is not a purchase — there is nothing to buy. It is a way of saying the work should continue.

Follow the experiment

The conversation continues on TikTok, where the episodes and the streets they describe come to life.
