Who We Are

Isaac Otieno grew up in Kibera, where he witnessed firsthand how many young people with incredible talent, creativity, and potential were slowly losing their direction, some falling into drug abuse, crime, and negative peer influence not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked guidance, opportunities, mentorship, and safe spaces where their gifts could be nurtured. Seeing this reality deeply impacted him and sparked a desire to create change. This became the foundation of Nane Dance Hub, a space created to give children and youth a different path through dance, mentorship, education support, and life skills development. By using creative arts as a tool for empowerment, Nane Dance Hub helps young people discover their purpose, build confidence, and transform their talents into opportunities for a better future.

Our Home: Kibera, Nairobi – Kenya

Rooted in the Heart of Kibera

Nane Dance Hub is located in Kibera, one of Nairobi's most densely populated informal settlements. Home to over one million residents, Kibera is a vibrant community brimming with cultural richness, creativity, and resilience. It is also a community where young people face significant challenges—limited access to quality education, food insecurity, and few pathways to economic opportunity.

This is exactly why we're here. By operating from within Kibera, we understand the lived realities of the families we serve. We're not outsiders bringing solutions; we are part of the community, walking alongside young people and families every single day. Our grassroots approach ensures that every program we design is responsive to community needs and honors the dignity and agency of every young person.

Why Kibera Matters

  • Cultural Hub: Kibera is a center of music, dance, and creative expression—a natural home for Nane Dance Hub.
  • Untapped Potential: The young people of Kibera possess incredible talent, resilience, and dreams. They simply need opportunity and support.
  • Community Leadership: Our work strengthens local capacity and creates opportunities for young people to lead change in their own communities.
  • Grassroots Impact: Working at the community level allows us to build trust, ensure sustainability, and create lasting transformations.
