Uweza Foundation

Meet Ahadi, Zawadi, and Baraka—three adventurous friends from Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya. When they discover a mysterious paper in their neighborhood, they take off on a quest for hidden treasure. Join them on their journey through the sights and essence of their community, leading them - and the readers - to a wonderful surprise. An initiative of Uweza Foundation, authored by Fabiano Lumbumba, a Kibera resident, illustrated by Murrel Aluoch, an artist with the Uweza Art Gallery, and curated by best-selling Kenyan author Melissa Wakhu, the book is a celebration of this beautiful community. We hope to inspire children to dream, believe, and discover the hidden gems in their world, see themselves, and know that anything is possible.
