My name is Linn Snarset and I wish to make an appeal to Kenyan musicians in Sweden. In the work of Human Rights, specifically the right to food, our organization will have a training program for small-scale farmers in Western Kenya so that the farmers can be able to help themselves. The project is being implemented together with Gothenburg and Bohus UN districts and Lively Hood Foundation in Kenya.
Livelihood Foundation (which is a recognized NGO) and our organization support local people in Nyatoto. The training project targets efforts in areas where needs are greatest in Kenya. The training consists of various courses, agricultural techniques, water management, marketing, human rights, HIV/AIDS among others. Local expertise in both agriculture and rights-based areas are used, and the training gives small farmers new skills to assert their rights and improve their lives. A detailed explanation of the project together with reports and images from the project to date, are available at http://www.fngb.se and “Friends of Nyatoto” on Facebook.
The first project was implemented in 2011, and the main financier was ForumSyd/PAGE which also approved a continuation of the project in 2012. Forum Syd/SIDA feels that the project has shown great success in Nyatoto, hence the organizations have accepted an extension of the project into the second year.
Ourselves, Gothenburg and Bohus UN district needs to raise 50 000 SEK for the project during the second year. This is a lot of money and to fund raise, we need to organize an event of some kind. We are seeking a talented Kenyan musician/singer so that together, we organize some events to generate money for the project. We will be very glad if any interested musician could contact us for further discussion on the project. We can be reached using the contacts below.
