Bridges for Music Academy trains young, talented, creatives from underserved communities to further their professional ambitions, create a love of learning, motivation and greater direction. 💡 Their work is guided by Self Determination Theory, which holds that humans flourish only when a person has a sense of their own autonomy, belonging and achieves competency in new skills. We are pleased to announce that Impact Amplifier has completed an impact assessment of their work to-date and is now supporting Bridges for Music to enhance its impact framework and measurement systems. In doing so, we expect to expand their understanding of the important impact they are making. 🎥 WATCH now for an overview of their impact: https://lnkd.in/dfb2dUUw #ImpactAmplifier #BridgesForMusic #CreativeEconomy #YouthEmpowerment #SocialImpact #SelfDeterminationTheory

The more I work with people in any community, the more I realize that helping people is what I will keep doing until I cease to exist. This past week I got to work with these women and girls. It is an ongoing project Safety n Us is running, with the help of Impact Amplifier. It is called Safe Formation, where we are bringing awareness on online violence, such as online harassment and cyber bullying. We educated them on disinformation, misinformation and digital literacy skills. Seeing these women actively participating and having the zeal to learn, to gain skills to better themselves, gave me the greatest satisfaction and hope that the work we are doing will have a great impact on them and other communities in the long run. Empowering them to be able to sustain themselves and protect themselves from online predators, abuse and false narratives. I have also gained, not just experience but a sisterhood, a family and immense happiness from this and I hope and pray I continue on this journey with the same passion, determination and energy in the course of my career!

As part of our ongoing Nando’s Peri Farms impact assessment work, our team recently travelled to northern Malawi to complete a baseline assessment of the living and working conditions of the newly established Paprika farming community in Mzuzu. This baseline assessment is a crucial first step in understanding how farming Paprika as part of the Nando’s Peri Farms project may affect the healthcare, education, housing, water, energy and food security of the small-scale farmers involved. 📸 Browse through our trip pictures for a look into life in Mzuzu, Malawi. 💡Read more about our impact assessment work with Nando’s Peri Farms: https://lnkd.in/d2N8K89S
