The Wafalme kids have won the MTV Positive Change Award with Trash is Cash
Lilian Tende is one of the founding members of Wafalme, a group of 16 young, talented Kenyans between the ages of 9 - 23 years old who are spreading the word about the impact of climate change through hip hop. She went to Copenhagen to the Climate Change Conference. With the support of Slum Talent Trust and Cultural Video Foundation, Lilian and her project founder Peter Jansen, formed Wafalme in 2008.
Brought together by their passion for Hip Hop as a way of life, they decided to begin writing songs and spreading positive messages to the youth in the slums surrounding Nairobi, giving others hope that they can change their lives.
The video track Trash is Cash is part of CVF Trash is Cash project. The song talks about pollution and the recycling solutions.
