Kibera Women Economic Empowerment Advocacy Video

The Kibera Self Help Groups have created this very simple video out of very limited resources and equipment to advocate for their effort to improve life conditions of their family and children.
Kibera Women Economic Empowerment (KWEE) wanted to experiment the video tool to engage people to create change. The have made use of the free training resources available at WITNESS (www.witness.org) mainly starting to concentrate on the communication strategy of the video. They plan to have more people getting involved possibly supporting them in making more elaborate and professional videos in the future.

How do children and young people survive in Kibera? What choices do they have?

KIBERA KID is a movie made by American filmaker Nathan Collett shot entirely on location in Kibera, with a cast from Kibera. It tells the story of Otieno, a twelve year old orphan living in Kibera with the Razors gang, his substitute family.  Otieno has to choose between a life of crime or redemption. 






KIBERA KID has won seven international awards, including the prestigious student EMMY, has been screened at 38 international film festivals and has been featured by media throughout the world. 

Teachers, professors, community organizers and religious groups have used KIBERA KID to connect with the reality of everyday life in Kibera, Africa's largest slum.
