Life Skills Development through Dance

By Mike Wamaya | Team Leader Project Elimu Kenya

Our kibera, Dance Programme has been a beacon of hope, empowering children and young people through Dance and Arts with access to two meals during trainnings, we have witnessed incredible growth, not just in dance skills but also in soft skills like self-confidence, discipline team work  among our beneficiaries. The program has provided a safe and nurturing environment for children to express themselves creatively and develop their talents. Through the power of dance, these children have discovered their potential and are now equipped with valuable life skills that will benefit them beyond our dance floor. 

 

Our dedicated instructors have not only taught dance techniques but have also nurtured life skills, transforming our our beneficiaries  into responsible, disciplined individuals. through mentorship,  and instilling in them a sense of perseverance and determination.

We are thrilled to share an inspiring story of transformation and resilience within our programme. In early 2023, a young boy, whom we'll call John, was referred to our program by the local administration. John had a history of extremely challenging behaviour that led to his conviction and placement in a juvenile prison. His future appeared uncertain, and his happiness seemed like a distant memory.

However, after John joined our dance and arts activities, we went on a journey to provide him with the assistance, resources, and guidance he desperately needed. Through these activities, John discovered a passion for creativity and self-expression that he had never experienced before. With the support of our dedicated staff and volunteers, he was able to explore his talents and develop new skills in dance.  As a result, John's confidence is slowly increasing, and he is also excelling not only in the dance but also in other areas of his life, both at home and in school.  John is no longer the young boy who found himself in trouble with the law. He is now a positive, motivated, and hopeful individual who is excited about his future.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support which has played an instrumental role in John's success and difference in our community. We will continue our mission to transform lives and provide hope for children like John through Dance..

Thank you for being a part of this journey, and we look forward to sharing more stories of hope and transformation with you in the future.
