    Participatory Video for Education In Poverty Alleviation
    (Tangaza College, 2009) Wesunga, Pius
    Poverty remains a matter of growing concern in many developing countries of the world. Today, as other continents continue to register sustainable economic growth and development through the use of media, Africa is not only lagging behind, but is also trapped in a vicious circle of borrowing and donor dependency syndrome. Some critics view this technological lag as one of the causes practically sabotaging real development. Politically, Africa has perpetually failed to marshal its development efforts towards maximum utilization of the immense natural resources many of its countries are endowed with. These resources would, if exploited, propel their economies and people towards high levels of economic and social performance. Consequently, this would eliminate pervasive poverty. Africa is amongst the continents where poverty is constantly on the increase. As a result, millions of people live each day in abject poverty. Many communities find themselves under extraordinary stress of taking care of one another, educating children, children going without food, their bodies stunted by widespread malnutrition and caring for the ill. Assisting people who need a hand is proving difficult. The stresses of extreme poverty, oppression, environmental injustice, failed educational systems and diseases such as I-IIV/AIDS make life a daily challenge. The Commission for Africa finds -the conditions of the lives of the majority of Africans to be deplorable and an insult to their dignity.

    Using Media Postively To Fight Hiv/Aids among The Youth (Ages 14-30)
    (Institute of Social Communication, 2010) Wakahia, Millicent
    HIV/AIDS is a fatal disease. The disease destroys the immune system leaving the infected person vulnerable to other infectious disease. The disease is a looming disaster in the world and Kenya is heavily affected since it was discovered that HIV/AIDS is affecting a bigger percentage of the work force of this country who are the youth. This means that Kenya is being deprived of quality services by its people; this in turn means that the economic growth is slowed down by the loss of this productive workforce. Poverty on the one hand has become a barrier in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It has fueled its spread at a very high rate within a short period of time. The disease has no cure even though there is so much research going on in various parts of the world, so as to come up with a cure for this deadly virus.

This research is going to be in form of a documentary. It is going to focus on MDG no.1 which is, "Eradication of poverty and hunger". The case study is going to be ICibera slum. The researcher is going to tour the entire ICibera slum to access the project initiated by the government in collaboration with UNDP as regards eradication of poverty and hunger.

"The Millennium Development Goals were born out of the Development of the 1990s. 2015 was a generation away now with only five years left every country needs to assess its own performance".
