The Memorial Garden

The AUGUST 7TH MEMORIAL PARK is a memorial park but also functions as a centre of outreach to the public , to educate Kenyans on the appalling consequences of terrorism and violence and the need for peace , tolerance and reconciliations.
The Memorial Park is a tribute to the innocent people who lost their lives as a result of the 1998 bombing, A tribute to the courage of those who have coped with injuries sustained and/or the loss of a loved one and A condemnation of terrorism.
The Park makes a statement on the futility of terrorism and that virtues of humanity will prevail.
