SKILLS & OPPORTUNITY 

UNLOCKING TALENT, BUILDING SELF-RELIANCE

Entrepreneurship as a route to independence and opportunity for local youth

MAD young entrepreneurs work together to raise funds to fight HIV and inspire children to make positive life choices

Their social impact project invites visitors to step off the beaten track to see how children at MAD are fighting HIV and tackling social and economic challenges in their community

As the project grows, so does benefit to the community, providing opportunity for local youth to train as guides and work together to build the programme 

MAD young entrepreneurs gain skills and confidence interacting with visitors of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. Interactions that build business skills and life connections, challenge preconceptions and ultimately break down stereotypes for locals and visitors alike

In the gallery at MADaboutART visitors see narrative artworks that tell stories of lives living positively with HIV as well as art by children that share inner thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams. Inspirational stories of hope and resilience that forge understanding and create human connection
