The PFCF is building a music school in Kirina, Mali, which will provide music education and vital resources to children and the community of this remote and impoverished village.
The village of Kirina is a remote, impoverished village in Mali, with no electricity, running water, modern sanitation or healthcare. The people of Kirina are able to gather just enough food to survive, but due to a lack of resources and funding, they are able to provide little more to the youth of the village. Kirina has a long, rich musical tradition that is beginning to disappear as there are few teachers and resources available to pass the history on to younger generations.
By providing instruments, music instruction, resources, guidance and buying locally-made intruments, the music school is providing economic opportunities to the local community while improving the lives and opportunities of Mali's children.
The music instruments and resources provided will benefit over 200 children, local craftsmen, and the surrounding communities, helping to improve their quality of life and allowing for growth and economic opportunity.
"Where politicians are failing, this is where music always works."
