The Volcano Arts Project develops programmes that are designed to equip underprivileged communities, especially the youth, with arts and other basic necessary life skills that create social awareness, enhance self esteem and create work opportunities.

These programmes focus on speech, drama, dance and music and ultimately personal growth and development. Through these artistic activities and public performances, Volcano raise and create awareness of important issues affecting the community like crime, substance abuse, women and child abuse, social injustice and HIV/ AIDS.

Recent Activity
A programme that took place between January 2008 and 28 March 2008 was a child abuse awareness play entitled “ Family Thing” .
