Why our work matters

Unemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing young people in Africa today. By training young people to become media entrepreneurs, impact facilitators and active citizens, we empower them to earn an income from gig work and make a difference in their communities. Through showing relevant films to an African audience, we harness the power of storytelling to spark change around important local issues such as: youth unemployment, gender-based violence, conservation  and media literacy.
