Anno’s Africa is an English charity that offers an alternative, arts education to orphans and vulnerable children in some of Africa’s most overpopulated and poorest slums in the world. The idea behind this project is that through dance and creativity you can escape poverty and find self esteem.

We spoke with Bee Gilbert, director of Anno’s Africa and Anna Nygh, dance teacher, about the project and about how dance and art can be important resources to escape from poverty.
