For the past 6 years, One Vibe Africa  and affiliates have brought together Africa's finest musicians and creatives together with world renowned artists and innovators for a celebration of music and civic purpose through the Madaraka Festival.
Since 2014, Madaraka Festival has attracted more than 10,000 patrons & reached over 12 million people digitally.
Last year, this international cultural extravaganza was a culmination of an entire week of activities happening in Africa for the first time, and featured live music, storytelling, poetry, exhibitions, workshops, and a film festival.
This year, Madaraka Festival will be streamed live on One Vibe TV on YouTube on June 27th. Be sure to tune in and fill the "Tip box".  It'll benefit 500 small businesses run by women in Mathare, Manyatta and Nyalenda slums in Kenya. 
Organizers are hoping to raise $50,000 which will be used to provide grants of $100 to each female-owned business. Organizers will be telling the stories of the women they are supporting through this initiative throughout the campaign to help connect them to the audiences and supporters of this campaign.
Make sure to tune in on Saturday 27th June at 9:00pm on One Vibe TV on YouTube
