The Spirit of Togetherness
The Umundu Artivism is a youth-led community-based organization that uses the power of art, storytelling, and innovation to spark social change.
About Us
Founded on the belief that creativity can drive meaningful change, The Umundu Artivism merges art, advocacy, and innovation to address pressing social issues. Our programs use stage plays, short films, spoken word, and community art projects to raise awareness on topics such as period poverty, reproductive health, and social justice. Beyond art, we’ve established a Digital Hub—a safe space where youth learn marketable digital skills, discover their creative potential, and build sustainable livelihoods. Over time, we’ve witnessed how our artistic and digital initiatives have become more than platforms for expression—they’ve become spaces of healing, belonging, and mental wellness for the youth we serve.
