My name is Samuel Kiriro Karanja, also known as MC. I am 34 years old and I am the oldest son born in a family of four. I come from the Mathare Valley ghetto. I joined Maji Mazuri when I was 12 year old. I have been a leader in Maji Mazuri youth group for three periods and I have also been the chairman once. As I grew older I joined the Maji Mazuri Alumni of which I am the chairman now. At the same time I started working for Maji Mazuri about two years ago as the assistant coordinator and since two months I have been promoted to be the coordinator of the Education and Talent Program in Mathare and I also work as an assistant in the Microfinance project Mavuno. I am a member of the Maji Mazuri multimedia group and my role is report writing and making films about Maji Mazuri and Mathare Valley.
