Hello, you should tag the appropriate DAO to your proposal.
However, have you checked with @Sankore2.0 for funds to hold your event? Sankore is NEAR’s regional hub in East Africa.

Nonetheless, @David_NEAR and or @marketingdao-council can look to this.

Thanks

Thanks for your proposal.

This should be referred to Sankore as the regional hub for two reasons:

  • Core community established in Kenya, hopefully you can find more collaboration and better outcomes.
  • As a Regional Hub, Sankore has a budget to support this kind of initiatives and is in. a much better position to ascetain the costs and quality of work.

Please let us know if you have any difficulty connecting w Sankore team and what the outcome is
