Board Notice
What we do, plainly stated
Jentora teaches the unglamorous, dependable parts of investigative reporting: how to request and read public documents, how to sit through a hearing without missing what matters, and how to ask an official a specific, answerable question. None of it depends on shortcuts, and none of it requires anyone to hide who they are.
- ✓Grounded entirely in open, lawfully obtained records
- ✓Practical sessions, not lecture-only theory
- ✓Built around Kenyan local governance structures
- ✓Paced so reporters can apply it between sessions

Our approach, in four lines
- ✓Work from what's published; request what isn't
- ✓Give officials a fair, documented chance to answer
- ✓Describe residents as people, not as illustrations
- ✓Publish in a form the community can actually use
If any of this is useful to you, we're glad to talk it through, whenever suits you.
