​African Drumming and Dance

We have an African drumming and dance group and sometimes perform at community events. Last year (2018), we performed at an international dinner hosted by the Northampton Becket Rotary club who were fundraising for a school in Malawi.

We regularly meet for free informal African drumming and dance sessions. We always welcome new members, no experience needed.

If you would like to join our group please contact us.

International Work in Africa

We support young girls in Africa by enabling them to go to school. In some rural areas in Africa girls are particularly disadvantaged when it comes to education and are at risk of getting marred off at the age of 13.

Some parents are unable to afford the basic essentials of sending a child to school e.g. pencils, exercise books.

It costs approximately £50 a term to provide a child with a school fees, uniform, shoes, school lunches and stationery etc. If you wish to help a child with whatever amount you can please contact us.
