Deborah Santana and Carl Lumbly's event raises over $83K for Daraja!
Last Sunday, Deborah Santana and Carl Lumbly hosted a beautiful fundraiser for Daraja Academy at Futures Without Violence in the Presidio. The evening included an incredible musical performance by Salvador Santana, and a presentation by Founders Jason and Jenni Doherty on Daraja’s growth and plans for the future. A highlight of the evening was the Q&A panel with Esther Wanjiru and Alice Naini, two Daraja graduates who are currently attending college in the U.S.
$83,286 had been donated and pledged to Daraja Academy by the end of the night.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event happen, to everyone who so generously donated, and to everyone who attended in support of the Daraja girls!
