Meet the person behind Same Kiti
Hello, I’m Maureen.
Same Kiti is a food and nutrition project by Maureen Marion, based in Lukenya, Kenya.
Same Kiti starts with busy Kenyan mums: family meals, portion awareness and making space for your own wellbeing in a full day. Working adults are welcome here too.
I studied Community Nutrition at Kenya Medical Training College’s Karen campus and gained hands-on experience through placements at Kenyatta National Hospital and Homa Bay Referral Hospital, followed by volunteering in nutrition departments at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital and Kariobangi South Health Facility. With Same Kiti, I bring that background to everyday family life: familiar ingredients, manageable portions and meals that fit your budget. My aim is to make eating well feel practical and achievable.
