The idea to establish the centre was born after a training session in Nairobi, organized by African Women and Child Feature Service in collaboration with Kenya Correspondents Association (KCA) in April 2009.
The centre is equipped with a desktop computer with Internet facilities to assist members disseminate content. Using the Internet facility, members are able to carry out online research. Before the content centre was established, the correspondents used cyber cafes to do their work.
The content centre, situated in Nanyuki town, serves 12 correspondents from Isiolo, Kirinyaga, Nyeri, Meru and Laikipia districts. All the registered members work as correspondents for various media houses. The correspondents felt it was important to have more media content being generated from the region and disseminated to readers, listeners and viewers. Working from the centre also enables members to network as they use the resources available. The centre coordinator, Mwangi Ndirangu is responsible for the management and day-to-day running of the centre.
