At the heart of every great story is a mission to inspire change, and that’s exactly what filmmaker Mojeri Coker has achieved with his feature-length documentary, Pipe Dreams. The film tells the true story of Silvester Nzuki Mwami, a 9-year-old Kenyan villager who embarked on an extraordinary 20-year journey to save his community from a 50-year drought. Through Silvester’s unwavering dedication, Pipe Dreams showcases the power of hope, resilience, and community-driven efforts to overcome challenges that have plagued developing regions for decades.
Mojeri Coker, a filmmaker whose portfolio includes projects based in Kenya and Uganda, serves as both the director and producer of Pipe Dreams. His passion for storytelling has led him to use film as a tool for creating measurable, positive change, particularly in developing communities. Through his work, Mojeri has raised funds for education, women’s health, and, most notably, access to clean water for thousands of villagers in Africa.
Pipe Dreams has already raised over $200,000, which has been used to provide clean, safe water to countless people across the continent. The film not only brings Silvester’s remarkable journey to life but also serves as a catalyst for action, inspiring viewers to support essential causes like water access. Mojeri’s commitment to this mission is evident in his work with Microfinancing Partners in Africa (MPA), where he helped form the water committee that drives much of the organization’s water access initiatives.
Thanks to Pipe Dreams and MPA’s efforts, 11 boreholes have been funded, providing life-sustaining water to communities in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Zambia, and more African nations. Mojeri’s work with MPA doesn’t stop there—he has traveled extensively to shoot and produce program videos for each of MPA’s initiatives, capturing stories of desperation, resilience, and hope. His storytelling inspires generous giving, shining a light on the challenges faced by those in developing regions while motivating action to create lasting change.
Now available on Amazon, Pipe Dreams stands as a testament to the power of community-driven solutions and the difference one person’s dedication can make. Mojeri Coker’s filmmaking continues to amplify voices from Africa’s most underserved communities, ensuring their stories are heard, and their futures are brighter.
