Goddy is a lifelong resident of Kibera and a well-known Kenyan stage actor. His dream is to make a better life for himself and his family.

Kibera Youth
The cast were born and raised or came to Kibera at an early age. Many of them now work with Hot Sun Foundation to develop their talents and their community.
The most ignored people in the society, the chokoras (street kids), are given priority in KIBERA KID.
