BENOIT CHAVES

This project is dedicated and in memory of a friend of mine (Karim Simms - Pictured below) who was shot dead in April 2017 at the age of 17, as a result of an ongoing gang feud in East London. Unfortunately to this date no arrests have been made. Sadly Karim was not the only friend I had that was killed. On the 14th of February 2018 my friend Promise Nkenda (pictured below) was fatally stabbed at the age of 17. Both their deaths left our community devastated. Ever since their deaths I have wanted to make a difference in my community and other communities around London and hopefully the wider UK. I am on a mission to educate youths and inspire parents in London and the wider UK. I am raising £25000 to print 15000 educational posters and deliver anti violence workshops and seminars in London Primary schools. Here is a glimpse of the poster. You can view the full poster at the featured image section by sliding to the side. With your help we can educate over 15000 families to start with in five of the most deprived boroughs in London. The violence needs to stop. With our (LAW Posters) we can on a daily basis deter young people away from crime and violence. My name is Benoit. I am the founder of 1 CHANCE A newly started business with a social mission. I have been campaigning for change for some time now and have also spoken on TV about it. Below is a clip.
