Nina Ogot

Main Prize - 2009
Nina uses her music to bring about positive change. Hailing from Kenya, she uses her lyrics and songs to advance the rights of the child. She wants to push society to be responsible and ensure the implementation of policies that ensure young people are engaged in nation building, using their talents and gifts to earn a living instead of committing crimes. Her lyrics include: "Welcome to the life of the CHOKORAA. He cannot afford school fees, He no longer works, drugs is his only comfort, He lives the life of a vagabond, Honestly, who will come to his defence? He has no family, no friends, No hope, No love, If justice is a reality, then who will fight for his rights?"

“Nice work! Keep it up!! Perhaps, you could use your music to also promote disability rights. Help us tell the world that "there is ability in every disability." Bravo!”
