The Building Hope Project
Providing Education, Art and Possibility to Youth in East Africa
THE MISSION
The Building Hope Project is a collaborative initiative that promotes the use of art as a foundation for healing, learning and empowerment in under-resourced communities around East Africa.
THE PROJECT
The Building Hope Project takes students on a journey to discover positivity within themselves and their community, through mindfulness and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Each project implements community led public art to strengthen active citizenship and healing through vibrancy in the community.
