Kenyan Artistes Now Focus On Somali Women Refugees

Kenyan artistes are dynamic individuals. Not only do they focus entirely on developing their music careers but most recently, they have come to be recognized as philanthropic individuals.

Fresh from donating their ringback tones proceeds to IDPs, the artistes are now focusing on enhancing the lives of refugee Somali women and their children at the Daadab Camp. Named Dadaab’s Gabhar (women of Dadaab), the artistes will be aiming to raise 2 million shillings intended to fund vocational training institutions in Dadaab for refugees. The charity will involve over 20 artists and will be held on Sunday the 14th at the Brookhouse School.

The vocational training will see the women acquire self-reliance skills as they currently lack none considering they have spent almost all their lives in a war-torn country and a refugee camp. Tickets for the event cost 1000/- for adults and 700/- for students while those for VIP will be 3000/-.
