CULINKE works with two fine artists’ youth groups to provide the youth with an opportunity to show case their artwork while also rewarding them for their talents and alleviating poverty.

Elixir Arts and KIFAA- an acronym for Kisumu Fine Art Association helps engage talented youths of between 16 and 26 in creative and productive pursuits living up to the mission and vision of CULINKE. Through these engagements youths avoid risky behaviour. 

At Elixir Arts (elixir means from nothing to something) plywood is etched to produce very original artwork of animals, landscape and even portraits. Elixir is also a Vocational Training Centre training orphans in etching. It is run by David Mboya and Gabriel Ojil. 

KIFAA artists mostly paint on cloth-Batik-. These are colourful abstracts depicting nature, man and animal in several lights.

 

CULINKE works with such groups by selling their wares through Alternative Trade Organisations and through other cause related entrepreneurs. Buying from CULINKE changes a life of a family, takes someone to school or even gives an orphan a reason to live on… a shilling that means there is hope yet again. Proceeds form these sales also help to sustain our girl-child education project the C-PAGE project, and the CHESS project.

 

 CULINKE is partnering with a US based nonprofit association  ‘A rezza; projects and transactions are managed and operated by Local Area Marketing Group (LAMG) temporary associations.

At this time, ‘A rezza focuses on four areas which are deemed essential for environmentally sustainable economic and social development: education and training, sustainable tourism, renewable energies and recycling. For more visit.
