Tia Kids Africa
CAN Music is in the process of setting up a registered non-profit organisation for the TIA Kids Africa in Rwanda to be run and managed by a committed group of people that will be representatives of professionals and young people committed to empowering impoverished children through the transformative power of dance, music, fashion and the arts and quality content creation.
Founded by Robert Stephenson of www.climateactionsnow.org and www.canmusic.org this foundation aims to provide a secure and nurturing environment where vulnerable and underserved children can express themselves, develop their talents, and find hope through a creative movement.
Who we are
The children we support and serve come from ‘Getto communities', facing significant challenges in their daily lives even for the very basic needs of food, clothing, housing, medical care and education. Through our programs, we aim to protect, uplift, and inspire them to dream beyond their circumstances while preserving the vibrant culture and traditions of Rwanda.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that every child deserves a safe, supportive space to live in, to be fed and educated and to be able to grow, explore, and thrive. By fostering creativity and resilience, TIA Kids Africa Foundation will be able to eventually offer the funding, security and pathways to sustainable careers and lives.
