The Kenyan Blog Awards is
an initiative of Bloggers Association of Kenya

rewarding those who post on a regular basis, have great and useful content, are
creative and innovation. The award represents BAKE’s effort in the promotion of
quality content creation.
Started in 2011 by Arid Lands Information Network (ALIN), Laikipia
Rural Voices aimed at promoting citizen journalism among young people by
training and equipping them with basic journalism skills such as
photojournalism, news writing, creative writing, feature writing, interviewing,
media laws and ethics, and blogging.
The blog has been
instrumental in sharing information on agriculture, particularly on successes
and issues faced by the youth engaged in agriculture, highlighting the role and
importance of family farming as well as issues pertaining to climate change,
environment conservation, and natural resource management.
