Creative Capitalism project in Zambia:

Song for Africa Primary School in Kenya:

Song for Africa/CAFAA Inc will alongside with Free the Children, be building a primary school in a Kipsy village of the Massai Mara. Construction will begin the spring of 2008. This will help in giving another 100 children minimum a chance to have an education.

SFA library/support of a VCT clinic:

Song for Africa/CAFAA Inc will be supporting the fulfillment of a health education oriented library for youth in an AIDS/VCT testing clinic in the town of Mulot, Kenya. The clinic is comprised of volunteers who give free HIV testing, counseling and administer ARV treatment when needed. They will also be supplying the clinic with critical medical supplies.

SFA Kibera Scholarship Program:

The Song for Africa scholarship fund is a joint effort between Song for Africa/CAFAA Inc. and CARE Kenya and was created in order to give the opportunity for children living in Kibera to complete their high school education. The Kibera slum is an informal settlement located on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya with an estimated population of one million people living without adequate water, sanitation, electricity, access to medical and education services and other social amenities. It is also estimated that roughly 11.3% of the population are HIV positive.

By granting the opportunity for children to finish their education in a such marginalized community, it is intended that the fund will help break the vicious cycle of disempowerment and poverty.
