Project Report | Dec 2, 2014
What if?

What if…
All the talented young people
living in urban slums in East AFrica
could tell their stories through film?
What would happen?
How would this change their lives, their families,
their communities, the media industry?
 
This is the vision of Hot Sun Foundation.
This is what we have been doing for seven years…
Providing accessible hands-on filmmaking training for
urban slum youth in Kenya and beyond.
 
Over 80 youth have graduated from our Foundation in Filmmaking course.
Most of them are working in the Kenya media industry.
There are so many success stories:
Alice is working in Dubai
Bonface has edited successful tv programs and documentaries
Wilfred has worked for tv, commercials and documentaries
Mariah is currently working on the Advanced Film Project
Moses has become a sought-after editor
Victor is a talented cameraman
And who stands behind all of these talented youth?
Who provided the opportunity for them to use their talents in filmmaking?
YOU and all of the supporters of Hot Sun Foundation,
through donating money, time, ideas, mentoring, social networking.
During this holiday season, and in every season, your support makes a difference.
Our major grant is ending this year.
We will continue to provide filmmaking training with your help and support.
 
#GivingTuesday 2 December 2014 is a day to show that holidays mean more than shopping - that people everywhere are willing to reach out and support others.

Please donate at http://www.goto.gg/3632.

Thank you for all you do!

It is appreciated
