Железнодорожный музей Найроби

Железнодоро́жный музе́й Найро́би (англ. Nairobi Railway Museum) открыт на территории железнодорожной станции Найроби в 1971 году. О музее Основой музея при его создании послужила коллекция первого куратора музея Фреда Джордона, который с 1927 года работал на железных дорогах Восточной Африки. В музее экспонируются документы, фотографии, железнодорожное оборудование, а также локомотивы (преимущественно британского производства) и вагоны. При музее действует библиотека. Среди экспонатов представлен, помимо прочего, моторизованный рельсовый инспекционный велосипед, который проходил испытание в 1950-е годы. Результат испытаний оказался отрицательным: колёса велосипеда соскальзывали с рельсов. Рельсы музея связаны с рельсами станции Найроби, поэтому у посетителей бывает возможность совершать экскурсионные поездки на исторических локомотивах.

Jamia Mosque (Kenya)

Jamia Mosque is a mosque located on Banda Street, Nairobi, Kenya in the Central Business District. Jamia Mosque is an important center of Islamic practice in the East and Central African region. As a landmark and heritage site at the heart of Nairobi’s CBD, Jamia Mosque-Nairobi displays an iconic image and an architectural masterpiece. Founded by Syed Maulana Abdullah Shah in the year 1902 and constructed between 1925 and 1933, Jamia Mosque became the center of Muslim religious organization throughout the pre-independent and independent years. The mosque plays a central role to Nairobi’s large Muslim population as a location of choice for Muslims for the Friday prayers. Throughout the 90s and the 21st century Jamia has become the place where Muslim religious, political and opinion leaders meet to discuss the affairs of the ummah. In many ways Jamia Mosque’s story echoes the story of Islam in Kenya; a story of determination for identity within a mosaic of multiplicity. Jamia Mosque was extended into a modern wing in 1998 and currently houses a large modern library facility, a Multi-Purpose Hall, a weekly newsletter (The Friday Bulletin) and a television station- Horizon TV. Our Vocational College –Jamia Training institute (JTI) previously situated at Jamia mosque complex was moved to Jamia Towers to provide additional office space for Jamia mosque and Horizon TV marketing. The Jamia Mosque retains a classic Arabic Islamic architectural style with extensive use of marble and inscriptions from the Quran, and the traditional row of shops (including a clinic and pharmacy) down one side to provide rental income for its upkeep. It is recognisable by its three silver domes, and twin minarets. It contains a library and a training institute where one can learn Arabic, introductory computing and cloth making.

Université Kabarak

L’université Kabarak (en anglais Kabarak University et en swahili Chuo Kikuu cha Kabarak), aussi connue sous l'acronyme KABU, est une université privée kényane. Créée par l'ancien président de la République Daniel arap Moi, elle a ouvert ses portes en 2002 à 18 kilomètres du centre de Nakuru. Histoire C'est le 16 octobre 2001 que l'établissement scolaire, fondé par le président de la République de l'époque Daniel arap Moi, reçoit la lettre patente provisoire lui octroyant la permission de délivrer des grades universitaires. Basée sur l'enseignement par les arts libéraux dans le respect de la foi chrétienne et mettant l'accent sur la pratique du sport, l'école ouvre ses portes aux premiers étudiants en septembre 2002. Le 16 mai 2008, l'université reçoit la charte de lettre patente définitive. En août 2012, la Cour d'appel (Court of Appeal) met fin à neuf années de procédure judiciaire en ordonnant la restitution, par Daniel arap Moi, de 40 hectares du campus à un exploitant agricole riverain. En octobre 2013, la Cour suprême (Supreme Court of Kenya) saisie par la partie défenderesse (l'ancien président Moi et l'Université Kabarak) se déclare incompétente étant donné qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un cas de violation de la Constitution et confirme, ainsi définitivement, la décision de la Cour d'appel. La décision judiciaire qui porte sur le titre de propriété d'une surface de 100 acres concerne surtout la pérennité des résidences des lecteurs de l'université et des professeurs de l'école secondaire bâties sur la parcelle litigieuse. Campus L'université possède trois campus : Main Campus, il est situé à 18 kilomètres du centre de Nakuru. Le domaine, qui s'étend sur près de 60 hectares comprend, outre l’université, une école secondaire (Moi High School–Kabarak), une école primaire (Moi Primary School–Kabarak) et de multiples terrains de sport dont une piscine extérieure. Tous les équipements sportifs sont accessibles aux trois niveaux de l'enseignement. Chacun de ces niveaux possèdent leur propre internat et leur propre bibliothèque. Nakuru Town Campus, ouvert en septembre 2006, il est situé en plein centre de Nakuru. Nairobi City Campus, ouvert en septembre 2011, il est situé dans le Prudential Assurance building à Nairobi. Programmes faculté de droit, faculté des sciences, faculté de médecine, faculté des arts et sciences humaines, école de commerce.
