Two New Businesses in Kenya!

We are SO excited to launch two new small business partnerships in Kenya, led by IA Artist Mentors and scholarship graduates Seth Luchemo (Top L) and Kevin Fraji (Top R) starting January 1st, 2022! These two talented young men have been with us for over 8 years – as Art Camp Assistants, Artist Mentors, Scholarship recipients and graduates, and now entrepreneurs! They are extremely creative and passionate about using their talents to make a difference in their own Mathare Valley, Kenya community and have come up with two very strong and sustainable business models! Check out their intro videos below!

Kevin Obambo (aka “Fraji”) – K. Fraji Production

K. Fraji Production’s mission is to satisfy and make a difference in people’s lives by providing the highest quality video content, services and products that entertain, engage and enlighten.

The second objective is to nurture the skills and talents of young people in the Recreation Factory School of Arts and expose them to opportunities and exposure for growth.
