Artist Relief Fund Donation

From: $0.00

Donate to the Artist Relief Fund!

As we come together in the wake of Hurricane Helene, the impact on our WNC artistic community is devastating. LEAF is grateful for anyone who is able to give, to directly support our beloved local artists & teaching artists in many ways! Thank you — your support means keeping music and culture alive during this challenging time for artists, kids, families, and communities. Donations & Instruments welcomed.

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
