Are you running an initiative that creates change in Nairobi?
Would you like community support and a microgrant to take it further?
If the answer is yes, we’d love to hear from you! 

Pitching at Nairobi Stew entails explaining to the room what your initiative is, what you would do with the microgrant crowdfunded by donations from the audience and how it will benefit Nairobians. You then grab a bowl of stew, participate in the discussions and enjoy yourself. At the end of the night, once everyone has voted, the winning pitcher gets the pot of donations from the door. Simple.

Not ready to pitch yet but you want to be part of the audience? RSVP here. 
Don’t forget the spread the word!

When: Wed, 7th November at 5:00-8:30 pm.
Where: ALX, Nairobi Garage, 7th Floor, Ngong Road
Donation that goes undivided to the microgrant: Ksh 500 (you are also welcome to donate more if you like).

The money isn’t the only reason you should pitch your idea. Here are some others:

• Access to resources – You’ll have the opportunity to access new networks, new relationships and open doors to collaboration. Tap into the many networks of people that are in our community.

• An audience – Spread the word about your project to a new, supportive audience & raise your profile in the community.

• Volunteers – Many projects gain volunteers from the Stew, even if they don’t win!

• Donations – Again, even if you don’t win, some ideas gain donations on, and after, the night.

• Advertising – The pitched projects will be advertised on social media & may feature in press releases.

• Feedback – Presenting at the Stew allows you to gauge opinion & discuss your ideas with others. You could gain valuable feedback and develop ideas.

• No restrictions – There are no restrictions on what can be pitched and no age restrictions.
