#twaweza

I met these women last week in Kalama Community Conservancy. They are part of a group of 300 jewellery makers from whom come some of Kenya's most exquisite jewellery. . They get their raw materials from @nrt_kenya 's Trading arm. After making the jewellery, NRT sells the jewellery on their behalf to markets as far as Australia. . The profits the women make are put towards running their households, with 5% given towards running Kalama Community Conservancy. . Proceeds from the Safaricom Marathon in Lewa support NRT's work with these women. . #SafaricomMarathon #YouRunIWin #Twaweza #KalamaConservancy (at Kalama Conservancy, Isiolo)

#Twaweza KiberaTalking library, joins the growing list of community driven libraries that purposely serve underprivileged communities by providing safe reading spaces and non formal education. The group, KiberaTalking, comprises of poets and musicians, who are no strangers, to the challenges the communities in Kibera, undergo. They spit rhymes, craft lyrics, all with progressive messages, and unearthed the ills that disrupt the communities' bonds. Seeking more avenues to address illiteracy in the community, KiberaTalking sought to start a library. The library runs on "Each one,Teach one" initiative - depends on donations from the community. #VitabuVyetu photo project explores what happens in this safe, communal reading space pocketed in Silanga area in Kibera PHOTO: KiberaTalking group celebrate the opening of a community library in Silanga area, Kibera.
