Introduction to Maua, Kenya
Maua is a town in Kenya's Eastern Province, located about 200 kilometers east of the capital city of Nairobi, near the Mount Kenya region. The area has a semi-arid climate, and the economy is based on agriculture and animal husbandry, with coffee, tea and maize being the main crops grown. Maua has a population of about 50,000, with a predominantly Kikuyu population, and the local culture retains a traditional Kenyan rural character.
Geography and Transportation
Maua is located in the central highlands of Kenya, at an altitude of about 1,500 meters above sea level, and the terrain is mainly hilly and farmland. The town is connected to the cities of Nairobi and Embu via the A2 highway and is a regional distribution center for agricultural products. A nearby tributary of the Tana River provides a source of irrigation water, but it still faces water shortages during the dry season.
Economy and livelihoods
The local economy is dependent on small-scale farming, with coffee cooperatives being an important source of income. In recent years, ecotourism has begun to develop, utilizing the natural landscape around Mount Kenya to attract hikers. Town infrastructure is basic, with small markets, schools and medical centers, and the pace of life is slow, with the serenity of the East African countryside.
