Project Details
Jigiya is a self advocacy group for Malians with physical or developmental disabilities. African Sky has supported Jigiya and Jigiya members for several years, and periodically provides various assistance to help Jigiya leaders meet some of the needs of Jigiya members. One small direct contribution from African Sky to Jigiya was a gift to Jogoya's performing arts group. This group drums, dances, and does mask performances for major events and celebration. From blind acrobats to dancers who dance on their hands and heads because the have no use of their legs. To assist the group following a performance to welcome an African Sky delegation in 2009, African Sky gave the performing troupe 10,000 CFA to cover the administrative costs and supplies.
