Faith Koli-Matu

Kenya

Faith Koli-Matu was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya.

She holds a diploma in television production and has worked on groundbreaking projects such as Tazama! and Agenda Kenya, among others, which have resulted in significant changes to television programming in Kenya. Faith is also a television production management skills trainer. Before joining DFL Faith worked as a news room co-ordinator and administrator for the Nairobi Al Jazeera bureau.

Faith’s passion for working with communities extends back to her school days, when she was a Girl Guide and welcomed opportunities to work with impoverished communities in the slums of Nairobi.

She also worked as a facilitator at the DEPOT, an organisation that focuses on team-building activities and leadership skills in Nairobi, Kenya.

Faith describes herself as “a creative at heart”, whose love for poetry, African fashion, music theatre and African markets means she is always looking for ideas to turn television concepts into reality.

“I’m looking forward to learning new methods and techniques for using drama and theatre, so I can make a positive change back home”, she says.
