African Loft has an article about SLUM-TV in Kenya: “Operating from Mathare, the biggest slum in Kenya, the SLUM-TV was created to document the lives of the people in the slum and to ‘reevaluate’ these lives through the camera.”

Could you tell me how I would get in touch or help the little 5 year old who is working as a cleaner to help his mother? I just saw the program on our KUAT channel in Tucson and I would very much like to help this little boy.

Thanks,
