Connie Nielsen, the Visiting Gladiator actress of '3 Days to Kill', officiated over the opening of Kibera Town Centre, a community centre that will provide water services for Kibera residents.
Connie who is co founder of Human Needs Project which is behind the noble project said that she was first introduced to the people of Kibera when filming in Nairobi, and became acutely aware of the incredible hardship the residents were undergoing.
She added that it was apparent that the human potential inherent in the wonderful people she had met in Kibera needed access to opportunity so it could express itself:
She founded HNP together with David Warner and created a concept that empowers the people we are trying to help while creating the conditions necessary for the project’s long term sustainability through a thorough programme of capacity building, education and community engagement.
