What we do
We operate and manage an art and vocational training school where we help severely disadvantaged youths cause by the civil war and its consequences. We use art as a means of transformation to show alternatives to drug abuse and crime. At CADA art school, we not only offer training in various artistic disciplines in visual, graphic, audio-visual art and craft but also teach vital skills for economic independence and social inclusion. In two 6-month intensive programs for thirty young people, including school drop outs, drug addicts, orphans, ex-child soldiers, convicts and vulnerables, we combine practical and theoretical content. In addition to promoting creativity, we focus on entrepreneurial skills to prepare the young people for the job market and enable them to set up their own businesses. The program aims to improve the prospects of young people in the long term by strengthening their life skills, promoting a positive change in attitude and increasing their chances on the job market.
We provide mental health education, psycho social support, rehabilitation strategies and link our beneficiaries to mental health experts when need arises. We also provide recreational activities, organize substance use/abuse sensitization, peace advocacy and environmental protection campaigns and workshops.
Empowering marginalize youths and communities.
