Watoto Village School Seeks Public support

The Watoto Village School of Performance Arts, a beacon of cultural enrichment and artistic expression, is reaching out to the community for support in its mission to empower youth through African drum and dance.

Founded on the principle of nurturing young leaders and fostering confidence through artistic exploration, the Watoto Village School of Performance Arts is dedicated to cultivating a vibrant community where children can express themselves, develop their talents, and promote the rich traditions of African art and culture.

"At the Watoto Village School of Performance Arts, we believe in the power of arts education to transform lives," said Tia Maat Founder and Director of the school. "Through our innovative homeschool approach and immersive learning experiences, we aim to inspire and empower young minds, fostering a passion for knowledge and creativity."

The school's curriculum goes beyond mere artistic instruction, delving into the rich history of African civilization from ancient times to the modern era. Students not only learn traditional drumming and dancing techniques but also gain an understanding of Africa's significant contributions to mathematics, economics, culture, art, and science.

Despite the invaluable impact of the program, financial constraints remain a significant challenge. As the mother and founder of the program, Tia Maat has been covering all expenses out of pocket, including uniforms, instruments, travel expenses, and instruction.

"We are committed to providing our students with the best possible learning opportunities, but we can't do it alone," Tia Maat emphasized. "We are reaching out to the public who share our passion for the arts to join us in this vital mission."

The Watoto Village School of Performance Arts is seeking financial support to cover ongoing expenses and expand its programming, including mentorship and collaboration opportunities with national artists. With the community's support, the school aims to provide a platform for creative expression, enabling its students to reach their full potential as artists and leaders in their communities and beyond.
