FAST - the Foundation for the Arts in Social Transformation - works creatively to transform lives and shape a better society. We do this in a practical and action-oriented way by identifying and running diverse projects around the world with groups of young people who have the potential to lead and drive sustainable social change in the disadvantaged communities in which they live.
“Often when people from my community get properly educated and find employment, they move away and forget where they came from. I would like them to take leadership positions instead of the people we have at present who are autocratic and out of touch.” “When you are given opportunities in life you have to grab them and not look back.”
“Being poor didn’t stop me from getting educated because I knew what I wanted and I believe in myself.”
“I didn’t know what qualities I had, but now I know I have leadership qualities and have learnt how to handle people.”
