Breaking Ground Ethiopia (BGE) is a new concept that had never been tried before in Ethiopia. BGE is an outreach project that Empowers, Elevates & Educates youth in Ethiopia using the dynamic fusion of Passion, Precision, and Power of Breaking (Breakdance).
BGEs’ vision is to create opportunities for youth, in particular disadvantaged youth and girls, to step into their greatness and become self-sustaining and empowering leaders in their communities.
Visionary Kim Seifu is an entrepreneur and writer but her area of expertise is dance and fitness. Cambodian born and New Zealand raised, Kim came to Ethiopia for the first time in 2007 and felt an immediate connection with the country. After some years back in NZ, Kim, her husband Yonas and their young son made the decision to return and settle back in Ethiopia. Together they run the popular café Enitewawek and Sup Dance Studio.
Kim says, “I would like to put my passion and brilliance in support of mobilising youth in Ethiopia through the vehicle of Breaking (Breakdance) so they can feel energised positively and express themselves freely and whole-heartedly. I believe youth need the opportunity to express, play and explore their inner creativity, especially in a country such as Ethiopia where children bear the burden of growing up too fast.”
Kim has chosen youth as her target group and she is looking to connect with individuals and groups who share her vision and want to support her efforts in creating powerful life-changing experiences.
