Kawangware Project - Juicy Lucy Records
Juicy Lucy Records, a long time supporter of NextAid, has graciously committed to helping fundraise for NextAid's Kawangware Project.
Funds raised will go towards building the Kawangware Project a multi-purpose building to run their programs and expand their income-generating paper bag making business.
The Kawangware Street Children and Youth Project is a locally created and managed organization started by former street kids to provide positive opportunities to get kids off the streets in their community- a slum bordering Nairobi. The youth's primary income generating business is making silkscreened gift bags out of recycled paper for sale to safari companies and tourist shops. The collective of former street kids operate out of a cramped and crumbling two-room shack in the Nairobi slum where they live. The profits from their business enable the participants to generate income for themselves and to take care of the community's orphaned or vulnerable children while providing a productive and positive environment for the youth.
Groundbreaking is expected to take place in October 2009.
Take Action. Help Juicy Lucy Records reach their fundraising goal by donating and spreading the word. All your efforts will help make a tangible difference in the lives of children in need.
