From March 2011 the inhabitants of the second largest slum of Africa, the Kibera Slum in Nairobi Kenya, are the proud proprietors of a monument in honor of African disabled people in general and the main characters of the documentary “The Voice of 650 Million” in particular. The European filmmaker Marijn Poels waived his rights to the Dodie Spittal award given to him in Canada and decided to integrate the plaque in a monument made by the Kenyan artist Ernest M. Muyonga and place it in the centre of Kibera.
“I never faced any danger,” Poels said during the award ceremony at the film festival in Calgary. “The main characters in my film however did. They run risks every day of their lives and therefore I want to honor their bravery, their courage with this monument. For everyone to admire and applause.”
This monument is the first monument ever in Kenia placed in a slum.
