Entry 01 — Opening Statement
Support for reporters who work the evidence, not just the story
Averixo works with independent journalists across Kenya to strengthen how claims are checked, how numbers are handled and how editorial judgement holds up under quiet scrutiny. No urgency, no shortcuts — just a clearer account of what you can stand behind.

Entry 02 — Purpose
What we account for
Averixo began from a simple observation: reporters working alone rarely have anyone to check their reasoning before publication does it for them. We built a small practice around that gap, focused less on style and more on whether a claim can be traced back to something solid.
- ✓Claim-by-claim review of published work
- ✓Practical training in handling figures
- ✓Ongoing editorial contact for solo reporters
Based in Nairobi, working with reporters across the country by phone and email as needed.

How we approach the work

What reporters have said
"The audit didn't flatter me, and that was exactly the point. I could see where my reporting was thin and where it wasn't."
Wanjiru Odero
Freelance reporter, Kisumu
"The numerical session changed how I read press releases. I ask different questions of a figure now."
Baraka Mwangale
Correspondent, Mombasa
"Having someone to call every few weeks made the loneliest part of the work bearable."
