How did the Creative Matterz Fund help you realize your project?

Creative matterz funds helped a lot in installation of the Mural, production of some bags and making a short documentary about Xcess. We wanted to complete the whole bag mural but we were challenged by the second lockdown which made prices on materials go high and we resorted to completing a few.

Who were your mentors?
Kim Gerlach
Alexandra Gheorghe

What learnings did you have?
It was about filming and I picked interest as well. In Uganda people love watching short videos and I thought it's also a good method to communicate the days since people are in lockdown.

What is your vision for the future?
To promote and educate youths about recycling as a way of cleaning our environment and as source of income.

How can one best support you?
We need financial support to be able to go to different communities. Please vote for our project!

COMMUNITY AWARD

View all projects and vote for your top three to win a further total of €1000 in support of their work.

UPDATE: We can congratulate Njola for winning 2nd place in the Community Award!
