In collaboration with Korogocho residents @CitiesAlliance , we created the Korogocho climate action plan for #FutureYetu initiative back in 2021. As various leaders converge in Nairobi for the Africa climate summit, we urge them to prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable.

We are at the forefront of promoting community perspectives on climate change issues through the art of storytelling, achieved through effective partnerships with various organizations.https://t.co/WqOKvOQW41 #ACS23

Dear Friends of Hope Raisers,
Your generosity, time, and support made 2022 an incredible year for the Hope Raisers. From the Hope Raisers Initiative, we say ahsante sana and wish you all happy holidays and a healthy new year.

[Hope Raisers Initiative @RaisersHope]

Our cultural space in Baba Dogo has remained open to children and youths from around during the holiday season. Here they can have the opportunity to express themselves, learn new skills and meet each other.

In solidarity with the Somali heritage festival, we facilitated the digital storytelling and basic animation workshop where participants attending had the opportunity to learn more and interact with our team.

[Hope Raisers Initiative @RaisersHope]

@SakajaJohnson Hope Raisers and its partners have inspired many ideas like the Nairobi Festival. @PlacemakingNBI @JIACTIVATE @unhabitatyouth @SNI_Nairobi

[Hope Raisers Initiative @RaisersHope]

@SakajaJohnson Ahsante Sana, what is Nairobi city without culture? Nairobi is culture and culture is Nairobi. This is such a great initiative not just for Nairobi but for Kenya as a whole.
