Through Harambee Arts, a group of Kenyans holds space for children in Kibera slum to express themselves freely. Among these dedicated mentors is Samson, who grew up in Kibera himself. In a room full of attentive eyes, he speaks quietly but powerfully about the impact that art had on his life. He knows he can help these brave kids escape their day-to-day struggles and connect with others through art. And his friendship resonates with the hearts of these children. With Samson’s mentorship and passion, art is lending a helping hand to those living in this part of Kenya—providing meaning and offering hope.
