Project Funding
The delivery of the ERT program in Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya has been funded through the Martial Arts For Justice Organization since 2017.
As we work to expand this program, we are also expanding our fundraising initiatives with our first ever Go Fund Me campaign.
The budget for this charitable project will fund the delivery of 3 separate, 5-day workshops, in Rwanda and Kenya. 70+ participants will engage with this training at no cost to them.
In addition to the training, each participant will receive:
- ERT™ Manual and shirt
- Lunch, water and refreshments for all participants
- Transportation costs for participants and trainees
