Street Kids
Nanzikambe Outreach works regularly in the
community, supporting various drama and enterprise groups. One of
these has been the Chisomo Children’s Project, which supports street
children with food, shelter and resettlement in their families.
Through drama we explored issues important in their lives: child
labour, abuse and exploitation, and the realities of life on the
street.
The Chisomo children performed, directed by Melissa
Eveleigh, at the Street Children’s Advocacy Day, which was
enthusiastically received by both the public and the press.
Capacity
Building for theatre groups – training in educational
theatre
 Working in partnership with the Khamalathu Disability
Organisation, we have provided assistance in proposal writing,
script development, performance and message delivery for their
ongoing community drama programme on the prevention of HIV/AIDS. In partnership with the Ministry
Responsible for Persons with Disabilities the group
performed a devised piece of theatre at an event celebrating the
World Day of the Disabled on December 3rd 2003. Disabled actors
performed alongside able-bodied actors from Nanzikambe in an
integrated performance designed to show the wealth of talent and
ability often overlooked in disabled people.
YOUTH - MALAWI
BRIDGE
 Nanzikambe was contracted by the Johns
Hopkins Malawi Bridge Project to provide edutainment
services at Three (3) National Youth Congresses through the months
of July and August of 2005.
The
concept that motivated the undertaking of these activities was the
need to energise the youth to ‘open-up’ about issues affecting them
and provoke them to thought about the HIV/AIDS situation in Malawi.
