A new home for arts & culture in Kibera - Anno's One Fine Day Arts Center

The Anno's One Fine Day Arts Centre Kibera celebrated its grand opening on 31st January 2024, marking a momentous occasion in the journey of empowering young creatives in Kenya.

Situated in the heart of Kibera, East Africa’s largest informal settlement, this cultural hub stands as a testament to collaboration, innovation, and the transformative power of the arts.

The ceremony welcomed distinguished guests, including the German Ambassador Sebastian Groth and the esteemed Hon. Ababu Namwamba, Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports. Their presence underscored the significance of this centre as a beacon of hope for Kibera’s youth, emphasising the importance of arts and culture in societal and economic development.

The Anno’s One Fine Day Arts Centre Kibera, a project by the Kenyan community-based organisation ANNO’s ONE FINE DAY and the German NGO ONE FINE DAY e.V., stands as a testament to the successful Kenyan-German collaboration.

This initiative has been made possible through the support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH’s project on Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI).
