Film Screening: Fear Not — The Story of Evelyne Keomian
Growing up impoverished in the Ivory Coast, Evelyne Keomian was born into a culture where only boys were educated. Determined to break the cycle of poverty through education, she founded the Karat School Project (KSP) in the Ivory Coast to empower the next generation of leaders. After immigrating to the US, she noticed families living in vehicles around Silicon Valley who face barriers she once endured. Refusing to be a bystander, Evelyne expanded the KSP to educate and empower families to become financially independent. Challenging the education system to help kids without a permanent address to register for school, Evelyne must now prioritize addressing poverty and barriers to education in her home country, and in her new community. Join Evelyne and filmmaker Annette King in conversation with KALW's Ben Trefny in a live, in-person program at KALW's 220 Montgomery events space in San Francisco.
