Wazi campaign

The Wazi Campaign was a nationwide public awareness campaign that used 3-D animation to convey messages of peace and good governance in Kenya. This initiative was as a result of the bloody Post Elections Violence that rocked Kenya in 2007–08 Kenyan crisis.

The Wazi Campaign was officially launched in Nairobi on 6 December 2012 by the former Permanent Secretary for Information and Communications, Dr. Bitange Ndemo and the Wazi Campaign Founder and Director, Lara Mastropasqua and Kenya's satire cartoonist Godfrey Mwampembwa (popularly known as Gado) who is also the Executive Chairman of Buni Media.
