Story
Shashamene Youth Creation established in 2010 by Sistah Outlets, a not for profit community interest company registered in England and Wales. Endorsed by Rastafari Movement UK CIC
Many of the youths in Shashamene are "Stateless" with no passport, limited rights, life chances or access to opportunities for development. Unable to contribute towards themselves, their families and therefore their community.
We work to ensure they are equipped to pay for school fees, essential items, clothes and shoes, support family members or just eat a meal!
Workshops combine Arts, Crafts, Music and Agriculture as means of empowerment towards sustainability and strengthening of self and community. One workshop costs £83.00 and we'd like to secure 24 workshops in 30 days - Two workshops a month for the next year.
- We travel to Ethiopia 2 times a year.
- We pay for local traditional artisans, crafts people to teach the workshops.
- We pay for hired space to run our workshops within the communities of the most needy.
- We pay for refreshments and materials.
- We secure spaces to sell the products of young creative makers and ongoing publicity and promotion to ensure that the Youths are supported when we are not there.
- We create productive and positive environments and encourage all members of the community to engage in works which benefit everyone in the long term.
- We use surplus funds to provide additional workshops to sustain youth aspirations and creative young female change makers.
We are RasTafari and we practice "Love and Kindness". The young people do the same within their community, that's why so far they've assisted in purchasing an oven for the elders bread-making industry serving local people.
“Emperor Haile Selassie 1st - Ras Tafari - teaches us that "..it is better to give and share than to receive" So we continue to practice
Love and Kindness” .....one bead and one seed at a time.
