The goal of the Elimu na Sanaa is to empower youth on both art and education, by discovering and developing their Art Skills and Educating them on how they can reach far by incorporating both Art and Education, starting an educational program about Art and Education at Shine Africa Community Art Centre Kigamboni Gezaulole. We give education to Artist who luck skills, provide Art to the educated youth, or provide both Art with Education. Subjects to be taught: Language, Computer, Communication Skills, Social Medias, Leadership, Professionals Ethics, Art Performance etc. This program is already running despite facing challenges. We hope, through you and us working together will reduce if not eliminate them all together.
The program will support youth whose education journey was cut short and never graduated due to different family reasons. Our potential targets being any vulnerable person in our community such as drug users and those that have lost hope and gave up on their live.
English Class
This class gives an opportunity for our kids to acquire basic computer skills. We see this as the beginning of something great, whether the knowledge will be applied on daily life activities, or a career path to being a computer expert. Most if not all of our kids come from family backgrounds with financial difficulties. Making access to learning computers not possible, unless opportunities like these are provided.
We hope this class will offer an opportunity to bridge the gap between
those kids coming from affluent background and them. At the moment we have 4 computers, two of which were donated by Mr Gemming, but we would prefer to have at least 10 computers.
