🌍 Help Bring Kenyan IM Mentees to RIMPA Live 2025

Update: Your generosity is making an impact!

Following our recent email outlining the opportunity to support the Kenyan Development Talent Program, we’re thrilled to share that the response has been nothing short of incredible.

Thanks to two major contributions and many generous pledges, we’ve already raised $8,420.00 - and we’re just getting started!

We originally set out to bring one additional mentee to RIMPA Live 2025, but the overwhelming support has inspired us to think bigger. With 10 talented mentees in the program, we now want to bring them all to Melbourne. That’s why we’ve set a new fundraising goal of $45,000.

You can see how we’re tracking towards this goal below:
