Project Report | Jun 19, 2026
Keeping Kibera Dancing (+ A Special July Update)

By Nowell Otieno | Programs Assistant

To the Community that Holds Up Our Stage,

Growth at our Kibera Ballet School isn't just measured by a higher extension or a cleaner pirouette, it is measured in confidence. Over the last few months, your generosity has given our dancers the rarest of gifts: a space to shed the weight of their circumstances and simply create. With every week that passes, we see less hesitation and more boldness, as our students transform from quiet children into expressive, self-assured young leaders.

We are thrilled to announce that Project Elimu will be participating in GlobalGiving’s exclusive July Bonus Campaign, through our Kibera Ballet School, and as we countdown to July 15th our focus is sharpening on what this moment truly means for our community. We are moving closer to the August school break, and our absolute priority is ensuring that the coming weeks of preparation translate into a secure, protected sanctuary for our dancers when their classrooms close for three weeks.

For 24 hours only, GlobalGiving is setting up a massive pool of proportional matching and incentive funds. When you choose to back our dancers on July 15th, GlobalGiving will match or boost your donation, making your generosity go twice as far.

A Special Note to Our Anonymous Donors: A very large percentage of our GlobalGiving family chooses to give anonymously. While we may not see your names on our dashboard, we see your incredible impact every single day on the dance floor. Whether you sign your name or support us quietly from afar, you are the heartbeat of the Kibera Ballet School. This August program belongs to you, too.

What to Expect Next (And How to Get Involved)

  • Follow Us on Instagram: Join us on Instagram this month for rehearsal footage, dancer testimonials, and an exclusive look at "A Day at Kibera Ballet School."

  • Watch Your Inbox: We will send a final, urgent appeal straight to your email right before July 15th with the exact matching times and the direct giving link.

  • Share the Dance: If you know people who believe in the power of arts education, please pass this message along to them.

  • Join the Process: Want to do more? If you would love to get directly involved, advocate for our dancers, or partner with us for the August program, please reach out and contact us today.

For now, please mark your calendars and Save the Date for Wednesday, July 15th.

Thank you for believing in the power of arts education and helping children in Kibera continue to dream boldly. Together, we keep Kibera dancing!
