We use the arts as a vehicle to transport the message of positive development in the communities we work under.
We have been effectively using art towards addressing mental health issues, as we have been conducting programs in different areas trying to arrest the surge of mental health cases. We also merge arts and sports, hence culminating into Sports Against Drugs campaigns. We educate communities about the sheer ills of drugs. Our seriousness towards community development is best seen on how we are able to merge art and other community-led organisations towards the common goal which is community development.
Synergy in practice
Such synergy creation is best experienced at the HAA Festival, where a hand and glove relationship between art and the champions of community development (youth-led groups) is cemented. As the informal sector is fast outpacing the formal sector, and informed by such a reality, HAA has been involved in a drive towards capacitating entrepreneurs, hence contributing towards economic growth.
Our earnestness towards community development is evidenced by how we have been able to give life support to idle public spaces in various communities. HAA even went an extra mile towards halving the incessant pressures applied on the existing public facilities in Hatcliffe, by constructing an accessible and hospitable public space, very safe for every young person.
