We are also proud to announce that we will be supporting Gua Africa at this event. Donations can be made at the Power Hip Hop events or directly to the organisation via their website.



About Gua:

GUA Africa was founded by Emmanuel Jal, an ex-child soldier turned rap artist. The word GUA (pronounced gwaah) means peace in Nuer, a tribal language of Southern Sudan.

Our mission is to work with individuals, families and communities to help them overcome the effects of war and poverty. Each of our projects focus on providing an education to children and young adults who would otherwise be denied such opportunity. Currently our work is in Kenya and Sudan, however in the future we would like to expand into other areas of Sub-Saharan Africa - working with other experienced partner organisations where ever opportunities arise.

In April 2008 we were granted full UK charity status and later the same year we received our NGO registration in South Sudan.





As a number of our rappers are former refugees from Sudan, many of whose families and friends are still in Sudan, we thought it pertinent and important that we support this excellent cause.
