The Kibera Online Store is the market place for the works produced by Hot Sun Foundation and other Kibera youth, Kibera Film School and Hot Sun Films.

Hot Sun Films is an award-winning film/video production company based in Nairobi, Kenya. The Hot Sun Films production team taps new talents and tells stories from and about people seldom seen on screen. We make films to entertain, raise awareness and cause social transformation. Through our non-profit arm, Hot Sun Foundation, we started the Kibera Film School, where we train and develop new talents amongst the youth and the children of the urban slums of Africa.

The Kibera Film School is a 9 month, full day,  intensive course, that is open only to Kibera Youth aged between 18-25 years. We are in the process of opening up the school to paying students from other areas in Nairobi, who will have a chance to interact and learn together with the Kibera youth, to whom the school will remain free.

You can follow the work of the film school by visiting their blog here.

Kibera TV is an initiative of the alumni of the Kibera Film School. It's an online channel, where the Kibera youth report on issues about events that affect the Kibera community. They cover the good, the bad, the interesting, the absurd of the Kibera community. They highlight issues that the mainstream media choose to ignore, and report news from their perspective - the perspective of the community not the outsiders.

The revenue that the Kibera Online Shop generates goes towards supporting the various Hot Sun Foundation / Kibera Film School projects.
