In the sprawling slums of Kibera, a computer programmer is equipping children from low-income backgrounds with technological skills. 29-year-old Renice Owino, is the founder of Code With Kids, a technology-based initiative that teaches children how to code and the concept of robotics. The organization is dedicated to providing affordable STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education to children from low-income areas thus empowering the next generation of innovators by providing them with the necessary resources needed to excel. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that includes laptops and robotic kits. “Most kids programs in Nairobi go for approximately 5000 Kenyan shillings which is around $50. This is way out of the pocket for parents in Kibera. For us, Code With Kids, we bring the same program to the kids in Kibera at the affordable price of 50 Kenyan shillings per session. Parents are able to pay for this 50 Kenyan shillings without feeling a strain and the kids are able to learn. We at Code With Kids are giving these young learners a free kick to their future,” says Owino. The project is partly funded by parents, and partly funded by charities.  The initiative has sparked the interest of the participants and thus had a positive impact on participants as they have been able to develop new skills. Many have completed innovative projects through the help of passionate educators who offer hands-on sessions and workshops that inspire creativity, collaboration and problem-solving. The initiative began in 2015 with 10 children and has so far reached over 2,000 children through collaborations with schools in after-school programs and coding boot camps. According to educational experts, many jobs will be carried out through technology in the future and it is thus imperative that children start learning the skills at a young age.

Born in Kenya, Peres Owino is a storyteller of two cultures. From a script she co-wrote being produced by Taraji P Henson and being nominated for an NAACP image award to her International Screenwriting Association Fast Track Fellowship for another script, Peres’ work focuses powerfully on the experience of the African Diaspora. She’s proven she’s an artist with something to say and the means to say it. We’ll talk about what inspires her and what she’s saying next.Peres and I talk about Wanjiru Njendu's film, Boxed, in which she acts.Her film BoundHere's her full credits to dateWe also discuss game changing content from the perspective of underdogs, outsiders, or previously discounted points of view: I May Destroy YouLovecraft CountryCirceMoonlightCobra Kaiand Parasite

Early this week, Nafula Wafula, a Kenyan activist, got a call from an American friend living in Nairobi. They talked about the recent killing of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.“When she called me, at the same time I was thinking about the police brutality that is happening here in Kenya,” said Wafula, who is the vice-chairperson of policy at the Commonwealth Youth Council. She also has a brother who lives in the United States.Related: World responds to protests sparked by George Floyd's death“The persons in the poorest communities, informal urban settlements face more police brutality, while in the US it's more racial."Nafula Wafula, activist and vice-chairperson of policy, Commonwealth Youth Council, Kenya“The persons in the poorest communities, informal urban settlements face more police brutality, while in the US it's more racial,” said Wafula. Last year, more than 100 people were killed by police violence in Kenya, according to human rights groups. Related: Somali Americans share grief and pain over George Floyd's killingWhen Kenya enacted restrictive policies to curb the spread of coronavirus, activists sounded the alarm about deadly policing. According to Kenya’s Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA), more than 15 people were killed by police during the coronavirus curfew — including children. Community organizers say that number could be much higher.On Thursday, the IPOA announced that six police officers would be arrested and charged over the deaths and assault of Kenyans during the coronavirus curfew, including Yasin Hussein Moyo, a 13-year-old boy killed in March. Yet, last Friday, Kenyan police officers killed two children and a woman lost her unborn baby during a police raid in the coastal region of Kwale. Days later, Kenyan police reportedly killed a homeless man in the poor neighborhood of Mathare, in Nairobi. Videos on social media show residents demonstrating in the middle of the night on Monday.Related: 'No justice, no peace': Thousands in London protest the death of FloydDespite a nationwide curfew and limit on public gatherings, Wafula and her friend organized a small demonstration of their own on Tuesday, outside the US Embassy in Nairobi. Shortly after, the US ambassador released a video statement condemning the killing of George Floyd, a black man. For some, it's a sign of how much the police killing of George Floyd, and the nationwide protests, has resonated within other countries where police violence is also a problem.“The events happening in the US have sparked police accountability questions in Kenya. ... The cops are very clever in terms of hiding evidence and blaming these victims for being criminals."Robi Chacha, human rights attorney, Nairobi, Kenya"The events happening in the US have sparked police accountability questions in Kenya,” said Robi Chacha, a human rights attorney who recently moved back to Nairobi from San Francisco. He’s worked on extrajudicial killing cases but says they rarely get the level of media attention seen in the US now.Related: Floyd's death reverberates in Nigeria “The cops are very clever in terms of hiding evidence and blaming these victims for being criminals,” he continued.On Tuesday, Kenya’s national police spokesperson Charles Owino was asked about police brutality on national TV. “Let’s take action against individual police officers who are erratic,” he said. “But let’s support the police, let’s not set the public against our police officers.” Owino denied that the man killed in Mathare was shot by police officers.Years of pressure from community social justice groups, who have been documenting police killings and violence, has led to some police reforms and increased civilian oversight.“The only concern for me and for many other Kenyans is why those do not reflect in just for these victims and their families as well,” said Chacha.

Coach Owino Chapman - Inspiring Kenyan Youth with Baseball There are people in Kimana, Kenya, where Owino coaches youth baseball that believe he is a "one of a kind" man. Though Owino came to work in Kenya after an invitation to participate in the Gear 4 Goals sports baseball project, and was new to the area, he integrated himself into the community and has had huge impact on the youth. Local children, never hearing about baseball before 2012, Owino immediately began organizing them into teams, teaching the rules and nuances of baseball.  At first it was difficult helping children understand the game. But little-by-little he began to gain hope they would learn how to play and eventually even become champions. Spurred by a dream Dr. Warren Bruhl had to elevate youth in this area through baseball and other sports, Owino has come to believe baseball is doing more for the children than many people realize when observing the program at first glance. As he points out, many of the athletes he coaches don't have fathers and or mothers due in part to circumstances of death. His influence as a coach often transcends to surrogate dad and loving father. His care and desire to see his players succeed and become powerful leaders of community fuel his mission. Many have gone back to school after dropping out. Some have improved their grades dramatically. Players clean up garbage and want to be more active in the community to make their town a better place to live.  Owino works for Dreamweaver through the Gear 4 Goals project and is the director for Mt. Kilimanjaro Little League in Kenya.
