About Us
Okoa Jamii Arts Initiative is a Community-Based Organization, Non-Profit, and Non-Governmental Organization established in August 2022 to assist in spearheading community driven development initiatives and enabling needy community groups to participate in integrated activities (art) to achieve quality livelihood and self-sufficiency. OJAI employs art (acting, dancing, singing, poetry, spoken word, drumming) to foster sustainable communities, intercultural exchange, and thriving slums/estates in our country.
OJAI promotes empowerment and intercultural exchange among Kenyan and international communities (short and long-term volunteering), youth mobility, social inclusion, arts and physical activities, community development, and peace promotion for the sake of unity.
