Meet the young artists, a vibrant community of children and students.
Why is art important for children and students in Kibera Slum?
Art empowers children, fostering creativity, emotional expression, and healing, serving as a transformative force in their lives.
Art motivates students to continue healing from their own painful journeys, feed their passion and provide them with crucial funding for their education and to meet their basic needs.
Creating and selling art connects children and young adults to the outside world and allows them to tell and share their stories.
