WAKE UP, YOUR LIFE IS WAITING
AMKA MAISHA YANAKUNGOJA
That is the name of the Project in Kenya, and will be the name of the Trust that I/we will found there. We will have two N.G.O.s to support this and collect donations, one in Germany with the name:
KENIA WACH AUF!
And one in Ibiza, with the name Kenya Despierta.( both meaning: Kenya wake up)
Why this project when there are so many projects already and why is this different?
While in Kenya what hit me were the children’s faces; the eyes that spoke of fear and despair.
Children are not brought up; they don’t get hugged nor loved; worse, most kids are born unwanted. The girls are unwanted because girls/women have no value, the boys because the women get raped again and again until the hotly desired son is born. This way of arriving into this world and living in it, causes an apathy and indifference as these children don’t receive love and attention but mal-treatment and scolding as their first message. From that a population grows that does not see why life is worth living. That is why they don’t do very much to improve their Situation.
This causes a society with particular characteristics. And this cause is what we want to try to make clear to these people and help them to change
Eventually the result of this will be that other projects for develoment etc. will have more effect and will also be able to cause a permanent change.
What do we want to do?
We want to try to make clear to the women that they have value: showing them their abilities and intelligence.
We want to show them how to bring up children and why this is important.
We want to build a home where pregnant young girls can give birth in security and peace and learn how to bring up their children.
We want to build a centre to help those women who were victim of some sort of violence and escaped it, where we can make clear to them that, when they discover there worth, they can bring up their children differently and so create a whole different society.
To achieve this we want to train teachers of life, we will call them tols, of which 3 quarter will be women. The reason for this is that we show the women this way that they can be and become “someone”. The reason we also will train men is a. because most people in Kenya listen better to men and acknowledge them as authorities; b. to show that we don’t see men as our enemy; c. because there are men who like our project and want to support actively.
I will train these people and show, that with for example the technique of improvisation (theatre) it is clearer for these women and children to recognize their situation; once in a dramatic way to bring them to tears, then with lots of humour so they can laugh. Both ways will leave an impression.
Of course these Tols will also talk normally to people, but just talking will be boring to them and they will loose the attention as well as the people themselves soon.
What to we need?
We need money so we can found a Trust (also the costs fort he journey to Kenya), buy a piece of land to build the two buildings and a small apartment. This apartment will be at the disposition to those who come from Europe and will help their as volunteers and who will control the work.
We will need one or two car(s) as the villages are wide apart.
We want to create an office where we will be reachable for tourists, where we can hold meetings, have Internet access and possibly (needs to be worked out yet) can sell products made by the people carried by the project.
The Tols need to receive a salary which does not need to be high, yet the Kenyan people all need payment.
How do we want to get this?
*In Ibiza we founded a N.G.O., carrying the registration number 311000007732 in Register for “Asociaciones de Baleares”, so we now have a legal base and can give donation receipts. The Bank is, adress: Plza Enrique Fajarnes no. 6, 07800 Eivissa(=Ibiza) Baleares, Spain. Account number: 2056 0015 68 4102 00 3385, on the name of Asociacion Kenya Despierta (which in english means N.G.O. Kenya wake up)
To transfer donation from countries outside of Spain here the IBAN: ES0720560015684102003385 and the BICCode: CECAESMM056
*We will also try to organise events to collect donations.
*We try to work together with other Organisations that already have experience, as this is all very new to me/us. I mean here organisations that can help us financially as well as those who can give us, because of their experience, important information as to have less initial problems.
*In time these projects must carry themselves, which means we look what kind of product we can produce whose sale can finance the future.
*We want to try to show car producers that by donating a car they get positive publicity. We will put the logo of the project together with that of the car brand on the car, so they have a reason to help us ( for example Mercedes supports with the donation of this car the AMKA MAISHA YANAKUNGOJA PROJECT. (every body who has contacts to firms producing cars can do this for us, as we have no contacts; we are grateful for all help!)
Others
In Germany, at the lake of Constanze in Überlingen-Bambergen we are also founding a N.G.O. that will have it’s own bank account where one can transfer donations to. We try to find volunteers who can fincance their journey and their stay to and in Kenya themselves, yet work with the people there and keep an eye on the project, sot that the goal of the project will be respected.
We have contact to a Clown-school, where possibly some Kenyan people can get trained as clowns, so we can show the situation in Kenya to the affected ones in a very different way.
We would be super very grateful when you would open your heart to our project and donate; also other ways of help are welcome. If you have for example a car to donate, or building materials and you can get it there yourselves, you would be of great help!!
