Institutionalization of Ghetto Classics in Nairobi, Kenya
During a week-long visit to Nairobi, Kenya in August 2023 Mark fell in love with the education outreach initiative of Elizabeth Njoroge Ghetto Classics (program of Art of Music Foundation). The initiative existed for 15 years, and was able to impact the lives of hundreds of kids and their families, as well as gain worldwide exposure. For next half of the year Mark and the members of Implementation Hub will help this Kenian non-for-profit organization to institutionalize by streamlining operations and strengthening worldwide community of supporters.
