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!
