Get Lost for a Cause

The Lost Children's Project

The Lost Children's Project

Get ready to lose yourself in an evening of good tunes for a great cause! Melbourne’s ‘Lost Children Found‘ event on Thursday 3 July aims to raise money for the building of a rescue centre (a nursery and boarding school) for street kids from the slum communities of Nakuru, Kenya. Organised by The Lost Children’s Project, a new collaborative initiative set up to support positive change for disadvantaged kids and families in Africa, the action takes place at a secret warehouse location in Collingwood, with live music from Yuko Nishiyama, Woodlock and Seven Year Itch, as well as a silent auction, pop-up restaurants, live artwork installations and plenty more. There’ll also be beautiful fair trade, handcrafted homewares, bags and woven mats available to purchase on the night, which won’t just brighten up your home, but also the homes of the African artisans who made them.  Don’t want to lose out? Get your tickets here and help make a difference in someone’s world.
