When change is built from within 🌱
In Gantumane, we didn’t arrive with answers.
We came to listen, to collaborate, and to strengthen what the community was already building.
This process was made possible through the joint work of , Tropical Wave, ALL TRIBES and the Women’s Horticultural Association UNIVENSI, true leaders of change and self-management in Gantumane.
We work with deep respect for local culture, guided by a clear principle: We support and strengthen their initiatives with the available resources.
What did we achieve together?
✔️ 2 community gardens strengthened and protected
✔️ Solar-powered irrigation system (well, tower, pump, 1000L tank, and water taps)
✔️ 30 households with access to electricity through solar energy
✔️ 600 school kits delivered across 6 communities
✔️ Basic medicines provided to 6 communities and support for the nearest health center
✔️ Donation of clothes, toys, and sewing machines, used and in good condition
✔️ Fishing nets, headlamps, and a boat engine
✔️ School improvements (electricity, structural reinforcement, paint, and a mural)
✔️ A community space built using recycled materials
Many of these resources were given a second life:
solar panels, clothes, and toys collected in Europe before being discarded.
Recycling is also about creating opportunities.
We support what already exists — agriculture, fishing, and local entrepreneurship — ensuring that the impact remains in the hands of the community.
We also shared something essential:
during the festival, the exchange between local and international artists reminded us that development is also about culture, identity, and connection.
None of this would be possible without those who trust, support, and dance with us.
Thank you for being part of this 💛
