NAFSI AFRICA

For 15 years, Nafsi Africa has been working to give youngsters in Nairobi’s slums self-confidence and artistic skills, and it is now a recognised, experienced cultural organization. Nafsi was founded by a group of adult acrobats. From their own lives they had learned that acrobatics gave them substance in their daily lives and opportunities for the future, and they wanted to pass on this experience to new generations.

Today, Nafsi consists of a group of artists who train children and young people in Nairobi’s slums, and who tour professionally – often in other countries. Nafsi also consists of many children and young people from several of Nairobi’s slums, as well as their parents. They see Nafsi as an opportunity to avoid the pitfalls of the slums, to maintain the schooling of the youngsters and to create belief in a future. In 2014, 2016 and 2019 artistic youth groups from Nafsi toured in Denmark with Global Kids – Spor Media’s cultural project.

Furthermore, Nafsi Africa and Spor Media also collaborate on activities that provide young participants with knowledge and opportunities for action (since 2016 with support from CISU).
