Gifts with Purpose

Documentary 1: Education is Just the Beginning. This is a 25 minute video
that we produced in 2003. It shows how we began, what we were currently
working on at the time, and our vision for the future. The video begins
with our child sponsorship program and contains interviews with children
in the program who speak about the impact it has had on their lives.
Then it moves to the microfinance program and frames some of the issues
of urban poverty in Nairobi. It talks about the reasons we moved from
sponsorship to microfinance. Finally, it shows footage from Kisayani,
Kenya where we are planning on building the empowerment village. There
are interviews with female government officials in Kisayani who endorse
our project and with a doctor who talks about the challenges of malaria
and AIDS in the area.

Documentary 2: What We Don't Learn from Our Mothers We Learn from the World.
This a 21 minute documentary produced in 2005 that specifically focuses
on the women's groups that we are working with in Kenya. This video
explores the issues facing the two women's groups we work with (one in
the slum and one in a village) in great detail. It connects the issues
of AIDS, drought, and urban renewal with experiences of poor people in
the US as well. This video contains interviews with the women themselves
talking about their challenges and the solutions that they are working
on with Watoto wa Dunia. It also contains footage from our Annual
Meeting in 2004, and speaks to how the American branch of Watoto wa
Dunia is working with the Kenyan branch. The handcrafts of JECK women's
group are featured, and the children of the slum perform a poem entitled
"Oh AIDS!".
