Slum Children Around the World Support Eachother
“After the earthquake hit Haiti on 12 January 2010, some street-children from the slums in Nairobi, Kenya, felt they should do something to support children in Haiti, now living in conditions as bad as or worse than their own. The Wafalme Kidz, hailing from the streets of East Nairobi, made up a song to bring a message of hope to the children in Haiti and a DVD was produced with Sarakasi Trust, Slum Talent Trust and Cultural Video Foundation. The United Nations Office at Nairobi, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme and UNICEF (all from Nairobi) joined hands to make this DVD possible, to make sure we do not forget about Haiti. All funds generated with this initiative will be credited to UNICEF and be used for reconstruction projects directly benefitting children in Haiti.” :: The United Nations
