We are a non-profit, non-governmental Civil Society Organization (CSO), established in March 2013 as an extension of a youth-led initiative known as the “Third Eye Regional Youth Initiative.” Our core mandate focuses on community advocacy across a range of priority social issues. We position ourselves as an implementing organization that delivers interventions in innovative, participatory ways, ensuring meaningful engagement of targeted groups throughout the design and implementation of activities.
Our programming adopts integrated, community-based approaches through arts and culture, sports, media and communication, and community mobilization. We primarily target women and girls, children and adolescents, and persons with disabilities (PwDs), while also supporting the rights of cultural and heritage minorities.
We have built partnerships with a number of international and national stakeholders, including UNESCO, CARE International, the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID), the Goethe-Institut, and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
We operate with digital internal management systems and a team with solid experience working with both international and national organizations. Our governance is women-led, with 100% of the Board of Trustees comprised of women.
