In 2023, the Musical Mentorship Initiative established a partnership with Ghetto Classics, a program that provides music education to 500 children in Korogocho – one of Kenya’s biggest slums that is home to about 300,000 urban poor and over 1000 more children in 9 satellite areas around Nairobi, 1 in Kiambu and 4 in Mombasa.
MMI is dedicated to making music education accessible to all and will connect students from some of America’s top conservatories to teach online music lessons to Ghetto Classics students. Additionally, MMI mentors will work closely with their mentees from Nairobi and Mombasa to enable Kenyan students to pursue further educational opportunities.
