Fear Not explores a passionate grassroots changemaker, Evelyne Keomian, in her quest to break the cycle of poverty through education for her communities in Ivory Coast and Silicon Valley.
Fear Not
Growing up impoverished in the Ivory Coast, Evelyne Keomian was deprived of education and slipped into schools in a culture where only boys were educated. Determined to break the cycle of poverty through education, she founded the Karat School Project (KSP) in the Ivory Coast to empower the next generation of leaders.
After immigrating to the US, she notices families living in vehicles around Silicon Valley who face barriers she once endured. Refusing to be a bystander, Evelyne expands the KSP to educate and empower families to become financially independent.
Challenging the education system to help kids without a permanent address to register for school, Evelyne must now prioritize addressing poverty and barriers to education in her home country, and in her new community.

IMPACT CAMPAIGN
We believe the power of storytelling can spark social advocacy, and move viewers to create positive change in their own communities. By screening FEAR NOT, we also aim to support the work by Evelyne Keomian and bring support to the organization she founded, The Karat School Project (KSP). Donating to KSP will support a child's education and families facing poverty and displacement.
