Current Projects requiring Partnership and Support

5. Neema CBO Website Development
We strongly believe that with a good website, we’ll be able to showcase to the world about the work we do and the impact it is having in our community. For this to happen, we require support in coming up with a Neema CBO website where people can be referred to. Being a small community organization as we are, we require the support of every one to make this a reality.

Current Projects requiring Partnership and Support

4. Youth Exchange Programs in areas of Art, Choreography etc.
Neema CBO have a pool of talented youths in the field of Art and Choreography (modern dance moves), football etc. We mentor and provide small support which is not enough to the youths to help them acquire equipment and costume for their performances.
The youths in the photos currently require support in terms of: cameras to shoot photos and videos (currently they are using a phone), laptop and any other equipment that will be of help to them.
