Our projects

We work with youth and women as key leaders in peacebuilding and community resilience. From training young people to supporting women-led initiatives, we co-design and deliver capacity-building programs with those driving change in territories affected by conflict. All our projects are co-designed with local communities, ensuring they reflect real needs, knowledge, and aspirations rooted in four key pillars: sustainable tourism, social entrepreneurship,
