Kenya to incorporate artwork and stipends into affordable housing schemes
What happened
The Kenyan government plans to integrate artwork, including graffiti and murals, into affordable housing projects across the country. Under this initiative, new homeowners will receive paintings as a gift from the Affordable Housing Board. Participating artists will be registered and receive a monthly stipend, while being expected to produce four pieces of artwork each month.
