Dar es Salaam Project

In 2008 we traveled to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to conduct a music and filmmaking project with a group of young men who live and work on the streets. Click here to check out the hip hop album that resulted from this phase of the project. To read more about this phase of the project project, flip through our Notes from the field and Final thoughts under news.

We returned in 2009 to follow up with these youth and pay for another year of housing and school fees. To read more about this phase of the project, check out our Updates under news.

We continued to support these youth with housing and school fees in 2010. See our Photo-update under news.
