Different families lived in Nyayo estate. They were all hardworkers who believed in barely nothing but hard work which, according to them, was the main
source of success. Nevertheless, they all worked hard to keep their surroundings clean and neat. They were organized in such a way that they took turns to keep their environment clean. There were times that water was scarce. During such times, women were encouraged to re-use their dirty water for cleaning latrines and toilets.

The tall grass was always trimmed and collected in dustbins and later burnt. They also ensured proper drainage. Water flowed smoothly without any stagnation.

Families prepared a duty roster which was to be followed by every family member. This ensured that tall grass was cut to keep away dangerous animals and latrines and toilets were scrubbed clean. The community was clean throughout.

There is a limit to the distance they can go must get back to the water before daybreak. They cannot graze in the forest for there is hardly any grass. They seem to believe that their safety is in the water.
   Most of the hippos grazing grounds have no enough grass. This is because of domestic animals and other wild animals like buffaloes, elephants and antelopes which compete for the same food.

There lived in village a certain a poor old woman who had collected a mess of beans and was going to cook them. So, she made a fire on her hearth and in order to make it burn better she put in a handful of straw. When the beans began to bubble in the pot, one of them fell out and lay, never noticed near her was a straw which was already there. Soon a red-hot coal jumped out of the fire and joined the pair.

The straw began first and said, "dear friends how did you come here?" The coal answered, "I jumped out of the fire by great good luck. I should have been burnt to ashes." The bean said, "I too have come out of it with a whole skin. I should have been cooked like my comrades." "Luckily I managed to slip through her fingers." The straw asked, "What had we better do now?" Said the coal, "I think we should hide," The bean responded,"that as we have been lucky to escape with our lives,we will go together into foreign lands." The proposal pleased the other two and they started on their travels.

Soon they came to a little brook and as there was no bridge the straw was struck with a good idea and said, "I will lay myself across so that you can go over me as if I were a bridge." So, the straw stretched itself from one bank to the other and the coal quickly trotted up to goover the newly made bridge. When he reached at the middle and heard the water rushing past beneath her, she stopped and could not go farther. So, the straw began to get burnt and broke in two pieces and fell in the brook. The coal slipped down hissing as she touched the water. The bean who had prudently remained behind on the bank went on laughing so excessively that she burst and now would she certainly have been undone forever, if a tailor on his travels had not by good luck stopped to rest himself by the brook. He took out needle and thread and stitched her together again. The bean thanked h im, but as he had sewn her up with black stitches, all the beans since then have a black seam.
