About us
80 years of advocating for residents needs
Working together to protect Karen and plan for the future.
The Karen & Langata District Association (KLDA) has been diligently representing the interests of residents since 1940. Our primary objective is to promote and safeguard an environmentally clean, serene, and safe residential and business suburb in Nairobi.
KLDA is dedicated to ensuring that the area remains well-serviced, secure, peaceful, and environmentally friendly for all its residents. We work tirelessly to advocate for necessary services, amenities, and infrastructure through various means such as negotiation, argumentation, publicity, and even legal action when required.
Over the years, our association has earned a commendable reputation for actively representing the concerns of residents. We take proactive measures to address issues that impact not only the inhabitants of Karen and Langata but also affect residents of Nairobi as a whole. By advocating for the interests of the broader community, we strive to create a positive impact that extends beyond our immediate boundaries.
Our active stance on critical matters has garnered respect and trust among residents and the wider public. KLDA is committed to actively engaging with authorities, developers, and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the needs and concerns of the community are heard and addressed. Through our continuous efforts, we aim to improve the quality of life and foster a sense of pride in our vibrant neighborhood.
As a resident's association, we value community engagement and encourage active participation from all residents. By working together, we can achieve our collective goals of maintaining a high standard of living, preserving the environment, and creating a harmonious and inclusive neighborhood.
KLDA remains steadfast in its commitment to serve the residents of Karen and Langata, while also advocating for the betterment of Nairobi as a whole. We are proud of our track record and will continue to champion the interests of the community, ensuring that our area remains a desirable place to live, work, and thrive.
Protecting Oloolua forest, the lungs of Nairobi.
KLDA has proudly partnered with friends of Ololua forest.
Ololua Forest, often referred to as “the lungs of Nairobi,” is a valuable natural resource that helps regulate the city’s climate and provides numerous environmental benefits. Protecting this forest is crucial for the sustainability of Nairobi and the well-being of its residents.Â
