Nafsi Africa (Pamoja Organization)

Nafsi Pamoja (Nafsi Africa) is a Community Based Organization (CBO) in Nairobi founded in 2002 working with contemporary and cultural artists from the slums of Nairobi. The organization aims at improving the social welfare of the underprivileged children and youth from the slums through engaging them in arts and talent (music, acrobatics, circus, dance, percussion, theater and visual arts) giving them a fair shot at opportunities in the future. Nafsi also aims to promote improved livelihoods for young people from these regions by equipping them with marketable skills and expanding awareness of issues and becoming thought leaders in their communities representing the younger generation. Through this, Nafsi provides an avenue for expression, social dialogue, self-awareness and competence among children and youth in the slums of Nairobi.
