Who we are

Data Store Kenya operates the Kenya Knowledge Index at /pub/, a permanent, structured catalog of the country’s most important public documents. We curate links and context so laws, policies, statistics, health guides, agriculture manuals, and cultural works remain easy to find and cite.

Why sovereignty matters

Our infrastructure is self-hosted within Kenya on open and auditable systems. By avoiding reliance on third-party platforms, we safeguard the integrity, availability, and independence of the nation's knowledge. For readers who wish to see how these qualities are ensured in practice, we provide a detailed Technical Note.

Principles

• Permanence: URLs under datastore.ke are designed to last.
• Neutrality: We catalog documents without commentary or spin.
• Simplicity: Static HTML, readable everywhere, easy to mirror.
• Accessibility: No paywalls, ads, or trackers.

Public archive & services

The public archive at /pub/ is free to access. Organizations that need permanence for their own manuals, reports, and policies can use our Documentation Hosting under /pub/docs/<org>/. Same stable infrastructure, dedicated namespace, hosted locally.
