We’re kicking off our year-end giving campaign! For every week until the end of December, ‘Real Lives, Real Impact: Support Uweza‘ will spotlight one young person in Kibera whose life has been transformed by your support.

This week, Amanda shares how creating and selling art at Uweza helps to support herself and her family.

This wouldn’t be possible without your continued support. You can help us to continue offering essential programs to young people in Kibera in 2025.

Here’s how:

  • Between now and Sunday, December 8, we’re asking for your donations to raise $5,000. Our overall goal is to raise $20,000 before the end of the year.

  • In celebration of Giving Tuesday, every dollar donated up to $2,500 this week will be matched by a generous supporter, doubling your impact!

  • Bonus! Sign up for monthly donations between now and December 31, and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a painting by one of our artists.
