iCA) is non-religious, non-tribal, non-political Community Based Organization that is aimed at empowering Kibera community through Arts. KiCA was formed by young men and women that driven by the zeal to transform their community using their different potetials,talents and gifts. These founder youths had previously worked in different community project with different organization and saw the need to bring together their experiences in this transformation journey in the communty. Joining them, Más Por Ellos, a Spanish NGO based in Kibera since 2013 promoting sustainable development in the slum through different projects and initiatives. We have been working together for a long time, planning, shooting and showing the stories of Kibera people. We’ve been recording under sun and rain, walking the streets up and down, sharing ugali, chapatti or chai with a nice chit-chat, singing and laughing together. Together we are more able to achieve our dream: changing the negative image of the slum through the voice of its artists and empower them to make a live out of their talents.

SECOND PAGE OF MSANII is a compelling student short film advocating for children's protection and safety in the Kibera community. Produced under the ARTVOCACY student project which has been working on providing basic video, photography and children's rights advocacy skills and information supported by Embassy of Portugal in Nairobi, this film is a collaborative effort between community based organisation Kibera Creative Arts, a social project Made in Kibera, and NGO TICAH who were keen on training the team on child protection and safety policy. Through the lens of art, it highlights the challenges faced by vulnerable children in Kibera and emphasizes the importance of creating a safer and more supportive environment for the next generation through community dialogue.

Last week, we invited the KiCA kids to visit our Centre, which is still under construction. It is amazing to learn that the space will comfortably accommodate all our activities once completed, with room to welcome more children, Youths and community members.
