HOW TO BUILD A LIBRARY premiered at Sundance 2025! The documentary tracks Wanjiru Koinange and Angela Wachuka's eight-year mission to restore and decolonize Nairobi's historic libraries 📚🎬 @BuildALibrary brittlepaper.com/2025/12/lib…

Yall should watch the @BuildALibrary documentary and the work they are doing to make sure these spaces are functional again

The political class leads the way in shameless transgressions which they flaunt here every day, obstructions that are strangling this society. But we want to tell young men that their presence on the road is the obstruction that is going to end Kenyan existence. Please!

Finally, when people are forced to live in inhumane conditions -no water, broken sewage, health, education- it’s not for you choose for them how they will die. You might need to consider the 1001 ways in which in these conditions of blighted futures we are all the walking dead.

As I argued in the film @BuildALibrary 🎬we are fortunate that Kenyans are wired for defiance. So when you see brazen ways hurry up and ask yourself where the oppression lies. These practices are not mere they are responses. And don’t camp here to tell me who is not a Kenyan.

🇰🇪 catch @BuildALibrary. on screen: From 21 Nov: Prestige Cinema & Motion Cinema (Nairobi) From 28 Nov: @NyaliCinemax. (Mombasa) & Mega Cinema (Kisumu) From 1 Dec: Unseen Nairobi

We're building our first library at a girls' school in Kenya! 💫 Education empowers & we’re inviting YOU to be part of it. Check out our wish list to support this incredible journey. Every donation counts! ❤️ bit.ly/LBLwishes #BuildALibrary #TLchat #BeTheChange

When you walk into our elementary school parking lot, you’ll see a short tan trailer in the back. That trailer is our rural library. Inside, the shelves are packed so tight that two kids can’t pass each other without bumping elbows. On busy afternoons, students sit on the floor because there are no chairs left. Most reading programs have to be held outside during the summer because there is no room inside - making winter literacy programs almost impossible to run. Still, more than 7,000 friends and neighbors rely on this tiny space for stories, homework help, and a quiet place to learn. We believe our community deserves better - a real building with room to read, learn, and gather. That’s why college film student Jaye Ahre Alia has chosen our campaign for his senior project. Over the next two months, he’ll film the hopes of parents, teachers, and children who can’t wait for a library they can grow into instead of out of. Jaye’s documentary will also spotlight the organizations that step forward to help. If your business wants to connect with families in East Idaho - or show support for rural America in a genuine way - this is a chance to do something that matters and have your impact recorded on film. Your partnership could put books in kids’ hands, computers on desks, and a roof over it all. Do you know a company with a heart for small towns? Please tag them here or send me a direct message. A gift of any size moves us closer to opening day, and Jaye is eager to feature every new partner who joins before filming wraps in the coming months. Let’s replace that crowded trailer with a welcoming library our children - and their children - can treasure for years to come. #knowledge #education #libraries #buildalibrary #learn

How to Build a Library (@BuildALibrary), directed by @maialekow & Chris King, is not just a documentary but also a rallying cry that shows the world how building libraries builds justice, community, and a reclaimed future. Directors' statement: bit.ly/4kj9Fzf
