Research & Writing

Creating sustainable and meaningful change through a human-centred approach to social development.

This is done by utilising creative thinking and creative methodologies, which allow for better understanding of the challenges faced by beneficiaries.

Designing projects that speak to these needs and challenges, ensures project ownership, and longevity. Considering beneficiaries as co-researchers is an important step in acknowledging the relevance of local knowledge as a means to influence project design.

When stories go untold, important moments are lost. Moments to inspire, to share lessons, to motivate and encourage. Moments to gain supporters and activate fellow change makers.
