Lost on You label builds two schools in Liberia

The organisation founded by Nina Lach and Osvaldo Felices Martinez is home to about 40 international artists producing “cutting-edge techno music from up-and-coming producers.” It claims to be the first philanthropic endeavour to contribute all proceeds from album sales to combat malnutrition, health-related challenges and sanitation issues in the least privileged regions of Africa.

The project, carried out in collaboration with German audio streaming platform SoundCloud, involves a €20 000 (about $22 000) budget to provide education for 300 children.

The initiative focuses on teaching subjects such as maths, writing and reading while “creating a lasting educational impact”. It also boasts additional highlights such as the comprehensive training of six teachers using the Street Child charity’s methodology as part of a strategic focus to enhance the quality of education provided. Additionally, the project’s handlers say they have successfully implemented sustainable management systems to ensure efficient and effective operation of the centres.

“Immense thank you to SoundCloud for their significant partnership in this endeavour,” Lost on You said in a statement. “This project is a testament to the power of collaboration and support.”

Meanwhile, the organisation has reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to supporting education in underserved regions. In September 2021, the label raised about €12 000 for the construction of a primary school in Bath-Sint, a community in Lokomasama, Port Loko, Sierra Leone.

Lost on You, which also donates to various charities including Against Malaria and Build Africa, says its next task involves collaborating with Street Child España, a member of the global Street Child network, to “ensure that all boys and girls are safe, in school, and learning.

“Together, we’re not just constructing buildings, we’re nurturing dreams and shaping brighter futures for children,” the label added.
