Cooperative urban development in Korogocho

In this project, we are helping to develop a child-friendly, safe and secure public space in the large Korogocho slum in Nairobi, Kenya. We collaborate closely with local partner organisations and a wide range of local stakeholders to improve an existing public space to better suit the needs of the neighbourhood’s children and youth.

The local partner is the Art of Music Foundation, which teaches young people how to use classical instruments, as a way to build dignity, create cohesion, develop skills and improve mental health. We are also helping to formalise cooperation between 7 local civil society organisations, to strengthen them in their fight for political support to improve their urban environment.
