Six projects. One mission.

Madaraka Festival

Madaraka Festival brings Africa's finest musicians and creatives together with world renowned artists and innovators for a celebration of music and civic purpose. In 2019, this international cultural extravaganza was the culmination of an entire week of activities happening in Africa for the first time.

In 2020 the virtual version of Madaraka Festival raised over $10,000 to help women who run small scale businesses in three Kenyan slums, protecting their businesses from collapsing as a result of the economic impact caused by COVID-19.
