Sikicho’s video imechange nini kwako? Tell us honestly. A, B, C, or D? 👇

As part of our commitment to building skills and empowering our community, we train youth who become vital members of our team, either as core team members or reliable backups when we need them most. Over the years, we've welcomed interns from universities and youth groups, giving them hands-on experience and preparing them to join our puppet family.

Meet our newest backup Puppeteer in training.

Today, we share with you the voice behind Sikicho, the award-winning puppet. Ineema, our youngest crew member at Project HAND UP, took on the role of Sikicho and made the character one of the most loved. From creating a short, interesting story about an intestinal worm that took Sikicho to Western Kenya, to running a fitness segment with our other production, Akili TV Kenya , The Saturday Morning Show, Ineema is young, talented, and has a bright future ahead.
