Artists unite to support Inside Out Girls Campaign
The Inside Out Girls Campaign's first fundraising event gave local artists a platform to showcase their creativity while raising funds for a meaningful cause.
Works of art became powerful stories of hope, resilience and self-expression when the Inside Out Girls Campaign hosted its inaugural Tell Your Story Through Art silent auction at Doppio Zero.
The fundraising event brought together local artists, supporters and art lovers for an afternoon celebrating creativity while raising funds for the campaign’s programmes that empower girls and young women.

Guests viewed a collection of paintings and mixed-media artworks before placing their silent bids, with each piece reflecting the artist’s personal experiences, emotions or perspective.
Among the artists was senior artist Richard Ngojo, who said participating in the event allowed him to demonstrate that creativity has no age limit while contributing to a meaningful cause.
“I wanted to be part of this initiative because it’s important to show young people that older people can still create beautiful art. At the same time, I can use my talent to support a cause that makes a difference,” said Ngojo.
As the campaign’s first fundraising event, the auction aimed to generate financial support for its ongoing work while showcasing art as a powerful way of communicating stories that are often difficult to express through words alone.
Beyond the fundraising, the event allowed visitors to engage directly with the artists, hear the inspiration behind their work and gain a deeper appreciation for the stories captured on canvas.

Inside Out Girls Campaign founder Imani Ndaba said the event was created to provide artists with a platform to share their voices while supporting the organisation’s mission.
“We wanted to create a space where artists could showcase their work, tell their stories and be recognised for their creativity, while also helping us raise funds for the work we do,” said Ndaba.
She added that the organisation hopes the proceeds from the auction will help sustain its daily operations and expand its outreach programmes.
“We are hoping to raise funds to cover our day-to-day costs and continue running our outreach programmes because it takes significant resources to do this work. We are hopeful that every artwork sold will help us make an even greater impact.”
