Creativity That Changes Lives

More About The Auction

A work of art can help remove a barrier to education. At Likamba Primary School, staying in school can depend on things that have little to do with a child's willingness to learn: whether there is food that day, whether the classroom is safe, whether basic school supplies are available, and whether family circumstances require a child to stay home.

This auction turns the students' creativity into support for the programs that help make school attendance possible. Because of you, a painting can become a meal, a safer classroom, learning materials, or another day a child is able to keep learning.

Each sale pays 10% of proceeds to the student artist. The remaining 90% goes to Likamba Primary School to support education, student well-being, and its developing art program.
