I knew Jenga Lives through a dear friend, Debbie, and I have had the privilege of attending most, if not all, of their impactful seminars. These gatherings have transformed my perspective and have had a profound influence on those around me. Under Jenga Lives' guidance, I have confidently dismantled the misguided beliefs I once held, particularly those concerning violent extremism. Moreover, their teachings have expanded my understanding of resilience and instilled a profound sense of peace both within myself and throughout society. Their guidance has extended far beyond changing my ideologies; it has empowered me to deeply reflect on my inner self. Through their insightful sessions, I have begun uncovering the root causes behind my actions and reactions. I am truly grateful to Jenga Lives for constructing a new, stronger foundation for my life. While I admire how Jenga Lives involves its community, I believe even greater impact can be achieved by including individuals beyond our immediate circle. The organization's seminars could benefit from venturing outside of Majengo, reaching diverse audiences and fostering broader exposure for all.

"I was born and raised here in Majengo, just like many others in the slums. I was raised by a single parent who was not financially stable. The difficult situation forced me into a life of crime when I was young, and I ended up spending some time behind bars. At that time, I believed that crime was the only way to escape poverty, the easiest employment without any qualifications. Life was tough, walking around the overcrowded streets of Majengo, where the challenging conditions could easily drive a person to violence. Joining KijeeTV was the best decision I've ever made. It changed my perception and gave me the opportunity to learn new things like filmmaking and many more. Before I joined KijeeTV, I was heavily involved in drug abuse and crime. But ever since I joined, filmmaking has become an integral part of my life. As a young person, I was in desperate need of a safe space to express myself and be part of a community. And that's exactly what I found here. They didn't judge me; instead, they walked alongside me on a long journey of transformation. Through this process, I became a trainer myself, teaching others the skills of filmmaking. I started earning an income from the projects I was involved in, gaining financial independence. Now, I can proudly call myself a cinematographer, even though I never had the opportunity for formal education. Thanks to the Jenga Lives community-based organization, I have become a skilled photographer, editor, and graphic designer".

JENGALIVE is an organization that is not only flexible and open to everyone, but it also has the incredible power to transform lives in countless ways. When I reflect on my past, I recall a time when I wanted to give up on life because I felt lost and without direction. I would often find myself sitting in despair, uttering the words, "AAAH, ACHA HI MAISHA INIPELEKE VILE INATAKA," which translates to "Let life take me just how it wants, I don't care." But then, something extraordinary happened. I had the fortune of meeting the remarkable individuals at Kijee TV and Radio. They extended their helping hands to me and showed me a different perspective. They taught me that I am the author of my own life, and I should never allow the world to dictate my destiny. Their unwavering support made me believe in myself, and today, with great pride, I can confidently declare myself as a successful filmmaker and actor. During my time at JENGALIVE, I discovered that my passion lay in journalism, a field I had studied but never had the opportunity to practice. Thankfully, JENGALIVE provided me with a studio where I could come and actively engage in radio presenting and production. It was a transformative experience that allowed me to hone my skills and unlock my potential. Furthermore, JENGALIVE gave me a chance to act in commercial radio dramas, something I had never dreamt of doing before. Through this opportunity, my talent flourished, and I gained invaluable exposure that even enabled me to start earning a modest income. More importantly, JENGALIVE shielded me from the negative influences that pervade our community. Now, each day presents itself as a fresh opportunity for me to learn and grow in my professional life. Thanks to Kijee TV and Radio, I have discovered my purpose and have the chance to pursue my dreams. I am filled with immense gratitude, and I sincerely hope that JENGALIVE continues to impact and transform the lives of countless others. May God bless JENGALIVE, and may their incredible work continue to flourish.
