Painting a New World (PNMW) is a Canadian Non-Profit Organization helping artists in Africa and Haiti through an International Mural Art Program.
PNMW has been working with Kiangure Springs Environment Initiative (KSEI) since 2010 when we launched our first mural in Kenya. We chose KSEI because of Joram Mathenge, the Executive Director, and his vision to promote forest conservation through art. To date, PNMW has funded more than 26 murals in Kenya and intends to continue.
Over the years, Joram has constantly demonstrated his professionalism and commitment to making a difference in the world. His involvement in the communities has been constant and necessary.
