Forget The Viral High School Twerk Videos. This Kenyan High School Reality Show Will Excite You.
For close to a decade now, Africa Nasaha production through its flagship Dreamz come true has been scouting, nurturing and awarding upcoming talent around the country.
As a matter of fact, Dreamz Come True is arguably one of the biggest reality shows in Kenya after Tusker Project Fame and M-Net’s Maisha Superstar, only that it involves high school students drawn from across the country who meet at a grand finale, sqaure it out before the best leave the fete with awards and dreams on their satchels.
Just like in Maisha Superstar and TPF, participants have to advance to the next stage and can be placed on probation or eliminated depending on their performances. The participants take part in 20 categories, among them song, choreography, news presentation and fashion.
The top three winners in each category receive partial scholarships in form of cheques paid directly to their educational institutions.
The founder and CEO, Francis Mwangi aka Jimmy K, himself a renowned dance choreographer and singer, says this programme was started not only to discover but also nurture and reward talent without interfering with education of the kids. The programme’s categories are creative and competitive and students are free to be innovative as they can be.
Three participating students from each category will not only receive cheques to settle their school fees but they will also win partial scholarships from Institute of Advanced Technology (IAT), which the programme has partnered with.
In the meantime, Mwangi and his team are traversing the nation scouting for talented students in preparation for the August competitions.
