Our Why

"We know that knowledge alone does not elicit change."

Think of an instance where you were motivated enough to change your behaviour, give your time and money to a cause? It was probably not from an elaborate report loaded with facts.

You probably read or heard an engaging and motivating story told in a captivating way. They managed to capture, hook and hold your attention enough to motivate you to action.

Storytelling

Stories if well told have the capacity to appeal to our emotions and logic and contribute to our belief systems and frame our worldviews.
