Kenyan Non-Profit Circus Program Seeks Funding
Posted January 1, 2008
Note: Posted as received.
My name is Liz and I am writing you from Nairobi, Kenya. I work with an
organization called Sarakasi Trust that trains youth in the slums of
Nairobi how to do juggling, acrobatics, and dance. Currently we are
looking for ways to continue to fund our over 50 outreach centers. We
work with over 800 youth on a monthly basis. The training we provide
these children with allows them to learn discipline, trust, respect, and
creativity.
We also have over 100 performers whose main source of income is gained
through our program. Juggling is a big part of the training and we've
had youth travel as far as China to learn new skills and techniques.
I am writing to you to see if your organization would like to sponsor a
center or two by either funding a juggling trainer or by purchasing sets
of balls and rings. It is $60 to send one trainer twice a week to a
center for a month and $50 to buy 5 sets of balls (3 balls per a set)
and 5 sets of rings (same). If you think that your organization would be
interested I would love to hear back from you.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Liz Wallis
