Benefits and Fundraisers, Boulder County Colorado
Founded in 2003, Tariro works in Zimbabwe to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS by educating young women. Located in the high-density neighborhood of Glen Norah in Harare, Tariro enables young women who have been orphaned by AIDS to complete a secondary school education, thereby dramatically reducing their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.
Each summer, Kutandara Center hosts a benefit concert to raise money for Tariro’s most urgent needs. Our community’s fundraising efforts have provided dozens of girls with access to a textbook lending library, school fees, school uniforms and art therapy programs. Come listen to the music, browse the farmer’s market and make your donation to this worthy organization.
Taririo founder, Jennifer Kyker, will be speaking throughout the event about Tariro’s projects and Zimbabwe today.
The event will be held at the Boulder Bandshell (Broadway and Canyon) from 4-8pm and will feature a number of ensembles from the community including Kutandara Marimba Ensemble, youth marimba ensembles, the Underpass Choir and more.
The Mission of Boulder County AIDS Project (BCAP) is twofold: to provide support, advocacy and education to those in our community who are infected with or affected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and to serve as an outreach and information center to prevent further transmission of HIV and the resulting Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
