At its beginning, Dzogbefa was working on the bare ground in his courtyard ... This situation was obviously temporary.
Kenneth had already bought a small piece of land in the surroundings of the city Ho. He build a small workshop there, but there was not yet electricity, and also no running water. This is when association Afrik'Arte comes into play.

 

The association has led a crowdfunding campaign during spring 2018 to raise a goal of 5000 € meant at bringing a water circuit, electricity and a water drainage system to the working place. The crowdfunding was successful and Afrik' Arte has gathered 5425 € on the collaborative platform Kisskissbankbank. With other donations, the amont collected is close to 6000 €. 

​

The electrical circuit and the water connection have now been brought to the workshop and makes the workshop a better place to make batik at. It is now left for the wastewater drainage.

 

For the wastewater drainage system, Dzogbefa plans to organize an open yard:

the aim is to build a natural drainage system with plants made by the community and by members of Afrik' Arte.
