The story
Kisumu's lakefront walls are the city's biggest blank canvas — and the young crew painting them are self-taught, working with borrowed ladders and partial cans.
This lab funds the gear that turns a crew into a regiment: shared spray kits with reclaim masks, fortnightly scaffolding hire so they stop climbing on each other, and a senior muralist stipend that keeps a mentor on site.
What a donation buys
- 4,200 KES — a shared spray kit, masks and filters included
- 9,500 KES — one scaffolding week for a six-wall block
- 22,000 KES — a mentor's month on site
Wall-by-wall photographs and a materials ledger are published per block finished.
