Learn how to paint a beautiful African landscape piece and help give our children in Kenya an education and future hope.
Swim For Africa was founded in 2010 by the three Carter sisters from South Lake Tahoe to help raise support for children in Athi River, Kenya. Each year, 'Swim For Africa' helps the Athi River children by providing their families with necessary funds for schooling, school supplies, and food. 'Swim For Africa' relies on the donations of others and the comfort that community can bring to fund 7-8 children in school and 3-4 families with food.
