In 2010 CMETrust launched one of our favourite awareness and fundraising campaigns, Mathare in Focus.

The idea was simple, an invitation to visit Mathare through the photography of our scholars. These intimate portraits of home and community were shared in an annual wall calendar (remember wall calendars?) sold to raise scholarship funds. 

The calendars were a holiday hit from 2010 through 2019.

Mathare in Focus 2014

Today we still look for ways to share art and joy in our campaigns, be it through Mathare-made auction items, or our popular hand-knit gnome “Orla-ments”. However many of our campaigns, like the rest of the world, have gone digital… including our ongoing 20 for 20 Fundraiser!
