Why we exist

Too many girls grow up with talent, but without access.

Many girls in vulnerable communities have limited access to safe creative spaces, long-term mentorship, and opportunities to build discipline and accountability.

Nala Base responds with consistent training, trusted support, and a pathway that keeps education at the center while opening future creative and career options.

Programs

One connected pathway, not isolated activities.

Dance Training

Weekly training across styles with clear progression, technique coaching, and regular rehearsals.

Mentorship & Accountability

Trusted mentors, peer support, and discipline-centered routines that strengthen confidence and responsibility.

Creative & Digital Skills

Practical exposure to storytelling, photography, videography, editing, and design for modern creative careers.

Education Continuity

We actively encourage school retention and work with families and partners to reduce barriers to learning.

Expected outcomes

MEET THE FOUNDER

For Chanella Djamilla, dance is more than movement

—it’s a way to feel, heal, connect, and create stages where stories come alive.

Her artistry has led her to major stages across Rwanda and beyond, including performances at Move Afrika with Kendrick Lamar, the 2024 BAL Opening Ceremony with Adekunle Gold, and the Trace Awards alongside icons like Davido and Yemi Alade.

She now channels her experience into building opportunities for more girls and women to step into their power through talent development, financial literacy, education support, and job creation across the continent.
