Financial assistance to attend the Africa fashion reception in Addis Ababa
By Julia Kandjimbi For Namibia Sep 18,2024To whom it may concern
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Julia Kandjimbi, a Namibian fashion designer and the creative mind behind Ish Namibia. I hold a Diploma in Fashion Design and Visual Applied Arts from the College of Arts Namibia. Through my work, I aim to create world-class designs while also establishing a sustainable income for myself.
I am excited to share that I have been nominated as a panelist and showcasing designer for Namibia at the Africa Fashion Reception 2024 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, taking place from November 5-11. This prestigious event is one of the largest in the African fashion industry, bringing together designers from across the continent. This opportunity not only allows me to represent Namibia but also to share my story as a young Namibian.
To make this dream a reality, I am seeking financial support to cover the following expenses:
Attendance Fee: USD 1200
Flight Costs: Approximately N$15,600 (based on a quote from Ethiopian Airways; subject to change)
I am committed to covering the cost of creating 10 items that I am required to showcase as well as my meals, but as an emerging designer, I currently lack the funds needed for the entire trip unfortunately .
I would greatly appreciate any form of financial assistance you can provide.
I would also love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this further and receive your guidance on how to proceed. I am happy to provide any supporting documents needed to verify my request.
Thank you for considering my request. Your support would mean the world to me.
Best regards,
Julia Kandjimbi
