We’re proud to be working with director Kimberley Duband on The Road to Tumaini, a documentary about four female architects who follow their dream to build a girls school in Kenya, but who are drawn into a treacherous partnership with a corrupt aide organization, and are forced to leave when their lives are threatened. Two years later, they finally return to Africa to fulfill their dream of providing education to girls in Kenya.

The Road to Tumaini is an experiential tale, a coming of age story about young Australians facing a hard reality, and growing through it. It is also an essential document of the most effective ways to sustain long-term developmental change in Africa… through the education of the girl child.

“The education of girls yields a higher rate of return
than any other investment in the developing world”
