Request QuoteWhen I(Kevin Gitonga), a freelance photographer, was on assignment I came across this inspiring story but I couldn't figure out how to tell the story in a captivating way so as to create more awareness. I was determined to tell the story which revolved around the issue of poverty in spite of having no background in storytelling. But by taking online classes in storytelling I was able to learn the art of telling stories. I was able to write a story about it and posted in on social media. Friends and family reached out and supported her. And the lesson I learnt is that a powerful story can move people into action. Today I help non-profits engage and connect with their audience in the most effective way I.e through storytelling. As a result they are able to raise more money to help millions of people around the world, who need their help.

Video Storytelling for Non-profits
Maleita had a very important role in her community - she used to be in charge of performing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) on the young girls at the cusp of adulthood. Thanks to our initiative Koota Injena, Maleita learned about the negative effects of FGM and how it held back the girls in her community. Maleita swore to never perform FGM again, even if it meant abandoning the prestigious status she had in her community.
Purity is 15 years old and lives in Kenya. Thanks to our initiative Koota Injena, Purity convinced her parents to protect her from undergoing Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and now attends secondary school through a scholarship for girls at risk to FGM and child marriage.
