Wajukuu
Wajukuu Art Project is a registered community-based organization situated in Lunga-lunga neighborhood of Mukuru slum. As we continue to grow our goal is still the same; to make Mukuru a place where a child could thrive and to create employment through the production and sale of quality art works. Through art classes, Wajukuu empowers children and youth to use art to connect with their heritage, cope with challenges they face in their home and community, speak out against injustice levied upon them, and envisage an alternative future.
