A Creatives Hub - Pawa 254

Boniface Mwangi is the founder of Pawa 254:
...a hub which will house, foster, and catalyze creative and community-driven projects for social change across Kenya. It is the first of its kind in Africa. PAWA254 derives its name from a combination of “power” in Swahili and 254, Kenya's country code, as a symbol of national strength and unity. The new hub will facilitate the use of visual and graphic arts, independent and citizen journalism, documentary film and photography, and digital and social media as means of civic expression and social action. To do so, the hub facility will bring together established and aspiring photographers, cartoonists, animators, creative designers, video & filmmakers, as well as entrepreneurs and activists, to work, learn, and share in an environment that inspires creativity and innovative efforts to bring about social change.
