SDG'S 2030

We promote conversations around the intersection between Art and SDG's 2030.

OUR APPROACH

At Umundu Artivism, we firmly believe in the transformative potential of art to touch hearts, change minds, and spur action.
Our multifaceted approach involves the following key components:

Community Engagement

We actively engage with communities and schools through awareness campaigns, focusing on crucial topics like Sexual and Gender-based Violence, Menstrual Hygiene, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
Through interactive sessions, we provide education and resources to empower individuals and promote healthier practices.

Safe Haven

In cases of extreme gender-based violence, we offer a secure and supportive environment at our center.
Victims can reside with us for up to six months while receiving counseling
and vocational training, ensuring they gain the tools needed for self-sufficiency.

Art Awareness: Art as a Catalyst

We use compelling artistic creations, such as skits and performances, to spark conversations within communities.
These thought-provoking pieces serve as a springboard for discussions on important social issues.

We have worked with Lifted Souls, a community based organization based in Mwea, to present a short kit on Gender based violence to the community members in Mwea.(see clip below)
