In the words of Siddharth Kara, author of “Cobalt Red," "Social change happens when a community of conscience bands together and drags the rest of humanity forward with their force of will, their moral authority until an injustice is set right."
At Denyond Ent., the company behind “Mamiwata’s Cobalt,” our vision extends beyond mere entertainment. Our steadfast belief in the innate goodness of people drives us to surpass the allure of captivating content. We aspire to cultivate a world where art becomes a potent force, propelling transformative change.
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE ALL CHILDREN ARE ALLOWED TO DREAM
Our premier initiative, "Mamiwata's Cobalt," embodies our vision. Comprising a painting exhibition ("The Mamiwata’s Cobalt Art Collection"), a soundtrack ("Mamiwata’s Cobalt Tribe"), and a paranormal drama film ("Mamiwata’s Cobalt"), this all-encompassing endeavor seeks to illuminate the challenges confronted by child workers risking their lives in cobalt mines. We invite you to be a vital partner in supporting our mission.
The battle against child labor takes center stage in our inaugural project. Worldwide, more than 160 million children are ensnared in child labor. Within the cobalt mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), 40,000 children endure daily toil in perilous conditions. Their efforts contribute to the global demand for cobalt, essential in powering electric cars, wind turbines, laptops, cell phones, and more. Our objective is unequivocal – rescue and redirect these children from the mines of Kolwezi to the classrooms of the DRC today, with aspirations for attendance at top universities someday.
Our goal is to actively involve the public in enjoying our art and content, channeling a significant portion of their purchases to tackle urgent societal concerns. This dedication is embodied in our "Art for Life" pledge, wherein we commit to allocating a significant portion of our revenue to support non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that effectively address social issues with transparency, ensuring that no more than 10% of donations are allocated to administrative costs.
