Hello everyone,
My name is Charles Anyama, Founding Executive Director of Purpose Rwanda, a peer-led addiction recovery and prevention organization based in Kigali, Rwanda. While our core work centers on the Purposeful Agent of Transformation (PAT) model, peer-led recovery support, we have increasingly seen how creative expression, storytelling, music, and shared narrative help people process experiences that are difficult to articulate in a clinical or purely verbal setting.
I am here to learn from this community how the arts have been used deliberately as therapeutic and social change tools elsewhere in Africa, and to consider how we might incorporate more of this into our own peer support sessions.
Looking forward to learning from everyone's experience here.
Individually Weaker, Collectively Stronger.
