Two former street children have bagged nominations in this year’s Kalasha Film and TV Awards.
Patrick Macharia and Elizabeth Sande, both aged 12, have been nominated as Best Lead Actor and Best Lead Actress in a film, respectively. The two budding thespians starred in the made for TV mini-series, Child4Hire, produced by the Amref Dagoretti Film School in 2014.
Peter Ofware, programme manager, Reproductive Maternal Adolescent and Child Health at Amref Health Africa in Kenya, commended the young actors and called on the public to vote for them online.
“This nomination goes to show that the mini-series has created awareness of plight of children who end up in the streets. Child4Hire means just that, our children are being hired into criminal acts and a life of crime by quite innocently trying to survive these mean streets of Nairobi. In addition to being exposed to hunger, cold and disease,” said Ofware.
Directed and produced by Peter Gitau, also a former project beneficiary, Child4Hire tells the story of a 12-year-old orphan, Samantha (Elizabeth Sande), who ends up in the streets of Nairobi and has to survive a harsh world of crime, hunger and fear. Buju (Patrick Macharia) acts as her friend and a ring leader of young street survivalists in a cast made up entirely of children from the Amref Dagoretti Children Centre. It was shot on location in the streets of Nairobi and at the Amref Dagoretti Children Centre.
Yesterday, award-winning actress Lupita Ny’ong’o gave a big thumbs up to a Kenyan sitcom on her Instagram account.
The Oscar winner wrote, “Day off from#EclipsedPlay. Catching up on my guilty pleasure, The Real Househelps of Kawangware. #cantgetenough #swahilihilarity #sheng #ifonlyicouldtranslate #GodblessNjuguna #TRHK.”
The show that is on its eighth season is produced by comedian Abel Mutua, who commented on the post saying, “@lupitanyongo you have no idea how humbled we are as the #TRHK family. Keep up the support. God knows we need it.”
Speaking to Word Is, Abel said, “It hasn’t been easy making people laugh for eight seasons. Most people (TV producers) have been running away from sitcoms because it is not easy maintaining the momentum. Every year we work hard and every time there is an announcement of the Kalasha Award nominees, we miss it. We get disheartened.”
He added, “So, when someone like Lupita watches us and endorses the show and calls it hilarious, she gives us a reason not to quit but rather to soldier on.”
Abel said he found out about Lupita’s post when a member of the cast posted the screen-shot in one of the Whatsapp groups he is in. “At first I thought it was a parody account, but I went to the account and found it is her verified account. We are all so humbled by her big up.”
At the time of going to press, the post had more than 13,000 likes and over 400 comments.
