Projects

underline

We empower communities by telling transformative stories. Our work puts sustainability and gender equity at center stage, including sexual and reproductive health and rights, family planning, access to education, the elimination of child marriage, and more. The multi-issue nature of storytelling also allows us to integrate a number of important development, health, wellness, and ecological indicators.
