Hope Raisers Initiative

Governance is a mirror of the people. If we want better leaders, we need to become better citizens.

To champion the arts as a medium for advocacy, we organized Kenya’s first street graffiti festival in Korogocho.

This landmark gathering of leading artists established a new precedent for using urban art to engage communities and drive social change across the country.

Our collaboration with Architecture Without Borders Sweden for many years, facilitated cross-cultural exchange programs between Kenya and Sweden.

This partnership created vital opportunities for young creatives to enhance their skills and gain international perspectives.

The story of placemaking in Nairobi is simply incomplete without the central role of Hope Raisers.

​By pioneering a movement rooted in arts and cultural expression alongside our partners etc, we didn’t just change spaces we laid the groundwork and provided the spark for the initiatives that followed.
