We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey! After many years of collaboration with Hope Raisers through various initiatives and programs aimed at empowering women creatives in informal settlements, Dadas Connect has now transitioned into a fully-fledged community-based organization that will be managed by women creatives.

This transition marks a new chapter in our story, as we continue our mission to uplift and empower women through creativity and innovation. The dedication and hard work of everyone involved have brought us to this pivotal moment, and we are grateful for your unwavering support throughout the years.

As we embark on this new phase, we promise to keep you updated on all the exciting developments and upcoming projects that we have in store. Your enthusiasm and passion have been the driving force behind everything we do, and we are committed to sharing our progress with you every step of the way.

Thank you for being a part of the Dadas Connect community. Together, we will continue to make a difference and inspire change in the lives of women creatives in informal settlements.
