Likoni and other NGOs and CBOs have made a consortium to make a peace video campaign.
The aim of this video is to maintain peace, before, during and after 2013 elections in Kenya. The idea of the video is to communicate the importance of peace in the development of our country.
The advert consists of familiar faces from Likoni, each with a peace message. It consists of small scale business traders, local administration, religious leaders and children.
“The shooting of these video has taught me that the people of Likoni love peace. This is because despite the fact that they are from different backgrounds, have different religious and political views, they loved the idea of coming together to talk about the importance of peace,” said Peter Kwame, Hatua Likoni Programs Director.
“We didn’t pay any of them to pass the peace message because they all agreed that the peace of Likoni and the nation as a whole is more valuable than any amount of money and greater than any individuals needs,” he added.
This video was made possible through the sponsorship of Hatua Likoni, Base Titanium, Nova Media, Baraka Chai, KECOSCE for Peace and Stability, MCI for Community Development, Kenya Muslim Youth Alliance, Shiner Pictures Company Limited and Genographic Printers Limited.
“Thank you so much to all who have made this video possible, we ask the rest of the community to maintain peace and show us that our goal was achieved, let’s all talk and promote peace wherever we are,” said Gabrielle Fondiller, Hatua Likoni Director.
The video will be aired at the Likoni ferry to capture the attention of the entire population.
