PAWA Initiative is a Non-Profit established in Kenya in 2009. It is Kenya’s unique art and a cultural collaborative hub that houses, fosters, and catalyzes creative and community-driven projects for social change. The acronym “PAWA” is Swahili corruption for “power” while”254” is Kenya’s international telephone code.

PAWA has cut a niche as a bold ‘artivism’ organization that creatively integrates art and activism to promote active civic participation, livelihoods, and employment development for Kenyan youth. PAWA leverages the power of arts to strengthen the understanding and exploration of emerging issues in Kenya and increase youth involvement in positive development processes.

PAWA‘s vision is to facilitate a bold, innovative, and thriving art and media landscape to create social change in Kenya.
