Our masterclass partners

For this masterclass program, cooperation has been sought with Wilde Ganzen. Through their ‘Change the Game Academy’ they train and support local organisations in various regions in organising and financing initiatives themselves. In East Africa Wilde Ganzen cooperates with its local partner Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF). We will also work with their trainers and coaches. In addition, Wilde Ganzen will finance part of the program. With this we are taking the next step in making our work in East Africa more sustainable.

We can use your support

For the Cre8 Masterclass we can use your support. Through the Give the Change platform from the Triodos Foundation we organise a fundraiser for this specific project. Do you want to know more about how you can donate? Visit our support page!
