AfricAid will be screening several short films created by a number of Coloradans about their connections to, experiences, and work in Africa, as well as other African films. Come join us for some of the evening or for all of it, and share in the experience of personal digital storytelling and African filmmaking. We look forward to spending the evening together watching great films and supporting girls’education in Africa through the Kisa Project.

The Kisa Project is an innovative AfricAid initiative that will directly link families and groups in the U.S. with some of Africa’s brightest young women – our Kisa scholars. American families and groups will raise funds for a Kisa Project scholarship, which will provide these young women with a school scholarship, entrance into a two-year leadership program, and individualized mentorship. During this period, the American sponsors will develop a meaningful relationship and forge strong bonds with their Kisa scholar, sharing in the joys and challenges of one another’s life stories through an interactive website. Upon graduation, these talented young women will return to their home communities to implement vital community projects and provide life-skills mentoring to other young women. In this way, the Kisa Project helps to uplift and support the next generation of leaders across Africa – and within your own community.
