  • Service: Our organization is founded on youth values and leadership and fronting youth coalitions and young people in addressing fault-lines and acting for development. Our framework and workflows prioritise the use of arts and culture in global development. Since our formation, we crafted a special artistic genre that is unique to us but also defining and cantered to the individual and community in which he lives. But this is not simply an art – it is a journey that takes both the individual and his community on a road to self-discovery and reflection, and this is where empowerment and change starts.
  • Statistics: 13 years of Services, 9 Countries we’ve worked in, 18 Community/Youths groups trained/formed
