The arrival of the first missionaries in the country is arguably one of the most fascinating stories told, written down in history books and passed down from one generation to another, a testament that history is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.

Central Kenya's Tuthu village in Kangema constituency holds a profound historical significance as the place where the Consolata Missionaries established the first mission, marking the dawn of Christianity in the greater central region and beyond.

Early Friday morning, with the mist still hanging low over the green hills of Kangema, KNA sets out on a journey to Tuthu to trace the footsteps of the first missionaries.

Journeying through the winding roads, we enjoy the picturesque highlands with the majestic Aberdare ranges visible from a distance as we take intermittent stops to capture the breathtaking site.
