Sometimes, a single act of generosity can ripple through a community, creating change that lasts for generations. Today, on Worth to be Seen, we take a journey into the heart of Kibera, one of Africa’s largest informal settlements, where resilience and hope drive change in the face of adversity.
Our guest, George Jarona, is an educator and community leader who founded the Brainstorm Junior Children’s Center and the Widows Empowerment Group. Inspired by his own journey as a sponsored child, George has dedicated his life to giving back—offering education, support, and opportunities to those who need it most.
In this episode, we explore the challenges of education, access to clean water, and economic empowerment in Kibera. We’ll hear incredible success stories, like that of John, Emmanuel, and Scovia—students who have risen from difficult circumstances to university success. We’ll also meet Molly Aloach, a 101-year-old woman who transformed her life through empowerment programs and entrepreneurship.
This is a story of struggle, survival, and the power of community-driven change. Join me as we uncover the unseen stories that truly deserve to be heard… and seen.
This is Worth to be Seen.”
