Project Report | Jan 10, 2025
2025 Annual Festival is Tomorrow!

By Solo Sana | Director

Greetings Kono Gnaga family!

We are thrilled to share some exciting updates as we approach the Dou Ba Festival in Bamako tomorrow, Saturday, January 11th, followed by the Segou Festival next weekend. Our programs are currently in full swing at 8 schools in Bamako and 2 in Segou, where students are working together to blend traditional dance and music with important community messages.  This new initiative encourages teamwork and the use of art as a tool for social change, and we can’t wait to see the outcome at the upcoming festivals.We invite you to join us tomorrow, Saturday, January 11th, at 11am EST / 4pm Bamako Time for a live stream of the event on Facebook Live, via Souleymane Solo Sana's Facebook page.

In other news, we recently held an orientation on our Child Protection Policy for all Kono Gnaga artists and administrators. This session was crucial in ensuring that everyone is aligned with our safeguarding rules, designed to protect children from harm. The participatory nature of the process helped establish a safer environment for the children in our programs.

Additionally, we are excited to share our new promotional video, which has been circulating on social media and media outlets in Mali. The video, available in both French and English, highlights our work and promotes the upcoming festival.

We are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support of Kono Gnaga. None of this would have been possible without your help, especially the incredible fundraising effort on Giving Tuesday. Thank you once again!

We look forward to continuing our work and achieving even greater things with your continued partnership.

Warm regards,
The Kono Gnaga Team
