To pay tribute to the 20 years of MSF in Kibera and thank the community, MSF worked with local artists to build "Tuko Poa" benches around Kibera. The benches take the form of two human silhouettes, capturing the spirit of community strength that lives through Kibera. The MSF logo is painted in "invisible paint" so it only appears when it rains outside. This balance between what's seen and unseen is symbolic of our relationship with the community–though our physical presence in Kibera may be gone, the spirit of prioritizing health, treating people regardless of their backgrounds, and empowering patients continues through the lived experiences of those we’ve met along the way.
