Support Kibra Film School: Empowering Young People Through Film and Photography

Kibra Film School is a community-based initiative dedicated to empowering young people through film making and photography. We work with youths, teenage mothers, and school-going children in the community, giving them practical skills, creative opportunities, and a positive space where they can discover and develop their talents.

Our training focuses on film making, photography, storytelling, camera operation, editing, and other creative skills. Through these activities, we help young people build confidence, express themselves, and gain skills that can open doors to education, employment, entrepreneurship, and creative careers.

We are seeking support to expand our programs and reach more young people in the community. Our fundraising needs include cameras, computers, editing equipment, lighting, training materials, internet access, and support for instructors and community activities. With better resources, we can provide quality hands-on training and create more opportunities for our students to practice their skills.

Your support can make a meaningful difference. By contributing to Kibra Film School, you are investing in the talents, dreams, and future of young people. Together, we can use film and photography to empower the community, tell positive stories, and create pathways toward a brighter and more sustainable future.

We welcome individuals, organizations, companies, and partners who believe in youth empowerment and creative education to join us in this important mission.

World Photography Day, is celebrated every August 19th every year .It is a reminder of the power of photography to tell stories, preserve memories , culture and give communities a voice.

In Kibera, Nairobi, this power is being harnessed by Kibra Film School, which has spent the past five years offering free photography lessons to disadvantaged young people in the community.

The initiative provides youths with an opportunity to learn valuable creative and technical skills without the financial barriers that often prevent them from accessing professional training. Through photography, students are encouraged to observe their surroundings, document their experiences and tell stories positives about their communities from their own perspective. This is because for long time Kibra has been portrayed as hostile place to live in by foreign story tellers.

For many young people in Kibera, photography is more than a hobby. It can be a pathway to employment, entrepreneurship and self-expression. The training equips participants with practical skills that can potentially help them pursue careers in photography, journalism, filmmaking, digital media and other creative industries.

Over the past five years, Kibra Film School has continued to demonstrate how community-based education can create opportunities for young people who might otherwise be left behind. By providing the lessons free of charge, the school has helped make creative education more accessible to disadvantaged youths.

As the world marks World Photography Day, the work of Kibra Film School highlights an important message: everyone deserves an opportunity to learn, create and have their story heard. A camera can capture a moment, but it can also open a door to a new future.

The school’s commitment to free photography education is therefore not only about teaching young people how to use a camera. It is about empowering them with skills, confidence and a platform through which they can see and present their community differently.

On this World Photography Day, Kibra Film School and its students offer a powerful example of how photography can become a tool for education, empowerment and positive social change.
