*Studio XX*, a digital art and technology centre for women engaged in 
exploration, creation and critique technological art, always encourages 
educational initiatives to allow women to be more autonomous. Through 
these convictions, we are organizing a fund raising concert next May 3rd 
at club Balattou, for *A.G.E.F (African Girls Education Fund)*, an 
organization that takes financial responsibilities to pay school fees to 
unprivileged girls from the Luo Community in West Kenya.

*A.G.E.F*'s mission is dedicated in improving literacy, health and 
economic wellbeing of African girls through education. A.G.E.F believes 
that educated women are needed to meet the challenges that African women 
face in the 20th century; education is an important part of efforts to 
combat spread of HIV/AIDS, poverty, domestic and sexual violence and 
discrimination. Under these circumstances AGEF is privileged to be part 
of this campaign to transform the lives of girls who are very much in 
desperate need. We believe that by focusing directly on one girl at a 
time we are creating a ripple effect that will transform the lives of 
the future generation and Africa as a whole for the better. A.G.E.F is 
therefore acting as a buttress in advocating for the African girls 
education campaign so that they can remain pillars of their families and 
their communities.

For this cause, musicians, dancers, and spoken word artists from the 
Montreal scene will join their talents to offer you delectable 
performances in a cozy and festive atmosphere: Montreal's famous club 
*Balattou*.

The objective of this event is to raise money for *A.G.E.F* while making 
you discover the amazing talents of Montreal-based artists.
