American Pop Star Madonna Tours Kibera Slums in Kenya Visit

Celebrated American pop star Madonna Louise Ciccone, popularly known as Madonna, is on a visit to Kenya in the company of her adopted children.

Through Instagram on Tuesday evening, the Grammy-award winner shared photos and videos of her family creating a mural of the artistic "tree of life" using broken glass in Nairobi’s Kibera slums.

The 64-year-old ‘Queen of Pop’ said the mural is in honor of the great work that Kennedy Odede, the founder and CEO of Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) is doing.

Madonna said she was impressed with Odede’s work and his commitment to this community and is excited to continue working with him and his wife Jessica.

She noted that Odede created the organization "when he was a child living in the slums of Nairobi to improve the lives of families living in these challenging conditions."

Madonna described SHOFCO as an organization created to focus on “filtering the water, education, enabling loans for women and men to start up businesses and putting a stop to gender-based violence by empowering women, taking legal action and giving them a safe space to Rebuild their lives.”

The ‘Beautiful Stranger’ hit maker toured parts of Kibera including the SHOFCO Kibera School for Girls, a library, an art gallery and posed in front of a motorbike engraved "Jesus saves" to which she captioned "Facts".

She is accompanied by her adopted kids, David Banda, 18, Chifundo James, 17, as well as twins Stella and Estere, both 11 years old.
