In Africa, millions live in crowded slums. Youth survive but don't thrive. At Kibera Film School youth trainees develop talents, tell their stories, become role models and transform their communities.
72% of urban Africans live in slums. Kibera is east Africa’s largest slum (one million people) located in Nairobi, Kenya. Most of the people living in Kibera are children and youth. Kibera Film School, the first ever in an African slum, opens up new creative possibilities for young women and men. Youth trainees develop their talents, tell their stories, become role models that transform their communities. Kibera Film School trainees will inspire youth living in slums throughout Africa.
Youth are trained in all aspects of film making - scriptwriting, casting, acting, camera, sound, editing, marketing and distribution. Trainees film their own stories and local events, share their films and get feedback at community screenings.
• Developing slum youth talent and creativity • Building slum youth self confidence • Changing how slum youth are viewed • Developing film industry and employment in the slums • Film school model for other slums
Hot Sun Foundation is changing the story of conflict, poverty and despair in Africa. Working with youth in Kibera, we are telling a new collective story of Africa of hope, innovation and creativity
