Rural Schools are essential for the development of the young African population. Many schools are needed for the large number of children who live far away in rural areas.

We collaborate with Associació XANGARA de Girona for the training of health personnel in the Gurué area in Moçambique and in the construction project of a school in Mali.

SOCIAL CIRCUS FOR A BETTER LIFE

ACT – Katwe/ Uganda

Empowering the children at Katwe slum in Kampala/Uganda. A non profit NGO. Through circus, they teach our athletes the importance of teamwork, trust, patience and consistency. These skills advance them as young leaders and empower them with the confidence to reject negative influences within the community.

In 2019, Richard Walusimbi and Nicole Giusti co-founded Acrobatics Circus Troupe (ACT) as an answer to the violence, drugs and gang activity that were prevalent throughout the community. Together, they combined Richard’s personal knowledge of the community, Nicole’s experience as a college cheerleader and their joint experience working at nonprofits.
