One year ago today, the sounds of rumbling boulders, gushing waters, followed by screams of pain and despair, hit several villages in Mai Mahiu, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction.

More than 60 people, mainly minors, were killed; the fate of tens of others remains unknown, while property worth millions of shillings was reduced to waste.

For tens of families, this marked the darkest night of their lives, and one year on, not a single government promise has been fulfilled as they try to come to terms with the incident.
