ChezaCheza Dance Foundation
Hi guys I've started a fundraiser on M-Changa to raise money for ChezaCheza Dance Foundation


School closure due to COVID presents an unprecedented risk to children's education, protection and well-being. For only 500Ksh ChezaCheza will give over one child in Kibera dance & life skills classes, a warm meal and food packages to feed their family for a week. We are a non-profit that provides at-risk children with quality life skills education through dance in safe spaces through local mentors. Let's keep the families in our community safe, healthy and dancing during this crisis!
Challenge
The spread of the coronavirus in Kenya has led to the closure of schools and all sports activities, including dance. At-risk children in slums like Kibera do not have access to the internet or virtual classes. Their well-being and protection are at risk, with food insecurity and violence increasing. They are missing our dance classes, the personal interaction with their teachers and peers in a safe space, and the opportunity to express themselves, especially during these difficult times.
Solution
In our class, children experience the joy of dancing in a safe space while building essential social and emotional skills. ChezaCheza wants to safely reopen its dance and life skill classes to provide a safe space, guidance, nutrition and psychosocial support in these difficult times. The classes will be provided in small groups of 10 children to ensure social distancing and with necessary safety guidelines for children and teacher. A warm meal and food packages provide the necessary nutrition.
