CHIPAWO (Children’s Performing Arts Workshop) is performing arts
organization that was established in 1989 as a trust with the aim of
producing a performing arts education based on the idea of exploiting
the traditional performing arts of the people of Zimbabwe and of
Africa. Founders of CHIPAWO were convinced that it was necessary to
promote a performing arts education that while using a pedagogy that
is driven by indigenous cultural values of Ubuntu, it can be applied
in the formal education system.
CHIPAWO has participated in many international festival since 1992 to
date. CHIPAWO this year has been invited to take part in the World
Festival of Children’s Performing Arts in Toyama Japan, from the 30th
of July to 3rd August 2022. The aim of this Festival is to promote
mutual cultural exchange and friendship among the participants,
through various kinds of artistic performances, seminars, and
workshops in which the invited groups commit to participate with both
the children and the group’s leader. CHIPAWO will perform a play
entitled “MAIMBODEYI” a play that tackles issues affecting the
girlchild from early child marriage, deprived education, child labour,
poverty and family discrimination.
CHIPAWO is there for seeking for your assistance as we fundraise for
the CHIPAWO group air tickets of $ 22 000 USD to Toyama Japan to
participate in the festival. The children will be expected to leave
Zimbabwe on the 28th of July and arrive back on the 3rd of August
2022. This trip to Japan will give the Zimbabwean children the
opportunity to be exposed internationally, to make new friends, learn
new cultures while sharing the Zimbabwean culture and as well as
lifting the Zimbabwean flag high
Your support in this initiative will be greatly appreciated. Kindly
