Shangilia for the future
The long-term goal of the Kenyans and Shangilia is to become more independent of donations from Germany and elsewhere. Money to run projects like Shangilia should be generated in Kenya.
The aim is to make Shangilia more popular in Nairobi and thus establish contact with Kenyan companies and individuals who can then support the project.
Together with the Kenyans we want to develop new ideas and concepts, how the ongoing maintenance costs can be reduced while increasing access to the project. The fact that our children have many performances in public places in the city, well-to-do youngsters from Nairobi use the skate park for a fee and that vegetables are sold from our gardens, we can certainly see the first successes of our efforts. We also understand this as the start of promoting “self-help”
As a result we have many on going project at Shangilia.
