Overview
We strongly believe that every young person has the right to be healthy and happy, to express themselves creatively, and to reach their full potential. Achieving this requires a safe space, reliable support, trust and understanding, and full accessibility. Our approach: 1) we offer life-changing arts education to all young people at the margins across Uganda, and 2) invite people across the world to purchase artworks done by children and merchandise featuring their art prints to enable us to raise needed funds to pay for the school fees of youngsters. Why our model works: Participating in art has proven to benefit young children by improving: • cognitive development • self-awareness and self-expression • social and perception skills • academic outcomes As such, art can act as a highly effective form of treating trauma, depression, phobias, addiction, and other societal issues. Our approach is designed to bring out the best in every child, young person, or youth that we work with. Visit our website, to learn more. Thank you
