EQUIP CHILDREN WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Donation protected
Give Instruments to the future of Reggae Music - Support the Youths of Trench Town

Join Us in Inspiring a New Generation of Musicians - We at Becca Foundation and 10000 Lions believe that EVERY child should be able to realize their dreams! For many children in Jamaica, this dream includes the sense of accomplishment that comes from learning to play a musical instrument and the empowering joy of creative expression.

Unfortunately, due to financial constraints and limited resources, many talented children in Trench Town will never get the opportunity to explore their musical potential.

That’s where WE all TOGETHER can HELP!

Our Goal: 2,200 Euros [OR $3,3300 Canadian dollars]

We are aspiring to raise 2,200 Euros to purchase 10 acoustic guitars and 10 djembes for a Children’s Community Music Programme that is currently in operation on First Street in Trench town.

This programme is an initiative of the Ellis brothers - Blakka Ellis and Aston Ellis, through their non-profit organization, the Becca Foundation. Accomplished professionals in the cultural and creative industry, the Ellis brothers are also nephews of pioneering Jamaican musical icon the legendary Alton Ellis. BECCA Foundation is dedicated to offering music lessons to children in the Trench Town community free of cost, as a way of providing a creative outlet, facilitating positive social interaction, and enabling a path to a brighter future. Through our partnership with 10.000LIONS, when you donate towards our fundraiser, you will also get exclusive music that is ONLY available to the people who choose to lend a helping hand to these amazing children!

Reach out to 10000 Lions Sound System to receive the sample pack and choose your dubplates from the “Music 4 Oneness” loveplates charity pack with music from some of the biggest projects of the world!

Why Trench Town?
Trench Town is the heart of reggae music, the birthplace of legends, and a community filled with vibrant culture and talent. Much more than mere entertainment, music is a way of life in Trench Town. It is the pulse of the people, the expression of their visions, a source of hope, and a means to uplift the community. By supporting this project, you are giving back to the roots of reggae and helping to nurture the next generation of creative geniuses.

How Will Your Donation Help?
Your contribution will provide much needed resources by directly funding the purchase of 10 acoustic guitars and 10 djembes, essential tools for aspiring musicians.

Music Education
With these instruments, the Becca Foundation can continue to provide free music lessons, inspiring creativity, and confidence for more young learners.

Social Transformation
Music has the incredible ability to transform lives and steer young people away from the lure of crime and social dysfunction. It fosters creativity, boosts self-esteem, and builds a sense of community. Reggae music, in particular, carries a powerful message of peace, love, and unity.

By supporting this project, you are spreading these values and making a lasting impact on the lives of Trench Town’s children. Let’s Make a Difference Together! With your help, we can give these children the gift of music and the opportunity to follow their dreams. No donation is too small, and every contribution brings us closer to our goal. Once we reach our target, we will share videos of the children receiving their instruments and enjoying their new learning experiences
