🏢 About the local organisation
Slum Sanaa is an arts-based project that was established to discover, nurture and promote talented young people from the slums to excel in their chosen artistic fields be it music, theatre, beadwork, graphic design among many others. The project was founded in the year 2009 by established and upcoming artists hailing from the slums of Mathare and Huruma, who saw a need to give back to their communities in terms of skills transfer. The artists involved have been teaching artistic and musical skills, collaborating with other organizations and organizing events most notably an annual slum-based festival. They currently are collaborating with a local school giving free music, dance and instrumental lessons to the school-kids and have successfully recorded music and a video for the hip hop class kids.
