Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) on Saturday, November 25 hosted the second edition of Tambua! Showcase in Korogocho slums.
The event brought together over 3,000 youth at St. John’s Amphitheatre.
The event was graced by top Kenyan celebrities in the music industry including Jua Kali and Susana Owiyo.
Also in attendance was former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga who called on the youth to avoid being used by politicians.
“Youth must resist being used by politicians for selfish gains. The youth must come together and use their talents to earn a living just like what we are witnessing today," Mutunga said.
“I love seeing youth who are hardworking and are ready to go an extra mile to change their lives.”
On his part, Jua Kali called on the youth to showcase their talents whenever an opportunity presents itself.
“You never know where your luck is. While growing in this industry, many people misused me but I never gave up. I soldiered on to where I am today.
“Challenges are there, but that should not stop you from nurturing your talent. People may discourage you, but never give up,” the Genge Rapper said.
SHFOCO Founder and CEO Dr. Kennedy Odede, who was also in attendance, said he was impressed by the impact Tambua! Showcase has made since its inception in September.
