4 Million Children
Empowering children through fun, resilience, and self-healing.
Through Our Social Circus Pedagogy, we empower children in challenging environments by fostering joy, fun, and resilience that help them heal and grow.
Mobile Mini Children Circus
We take children seriously. Our pedagogy relies on working with children for children. In our activities, we are in a role of a facilitator, not a teacher, trainer or lecturer.
Our approach is participatory, where children and youth take the lead and direct us. In this way, we facilitate the discovery of potential and the development of social skills allowing diverse individual participation to unite the children in learning and playing.
Building an Expanding Network of Circus Pioneers. So far in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh:
Afghanistan
As of 2024, we support 38 male and female youth team leaders across 17 provinces, who run weekly social circus activities for over 2,000 girls and boys, along with events and performances for their communities.
Ethiopia
We support three social circus teams in Ethiopia’s Chencha region in collaboration with our partner NGO, Bright Star. Launched in 2002, this initiative has been steadily expanding ever since.
Bangladesh
We are strengthening our three social circus teams in Rohingya refugee camps and three social circus teams in the host communities, bringing more fun and educational entertainment to a wider audience.
Future Regions
Leveraging our experience, expertise, and established expansion network, we are now seeking additional partner NGOs to help extend our impact and reach more children globally.
Our numbers that speak
Since 2002, we have delivered educational entertainment shows, workshops, and events to over 4 million children, primarily in Afghanistan, as well as in Bangladesh and Ethiopia. As of 2024, we operate 38 teams across 17 provinces in Afghanistan, 3 in Ethiopia, and 6 in Rohingya camps and hosting communites in Bangladesh. Each team engages average 35 children in weekly activities, performances, and community events, reaching a larger audience and benefiting entire communities.
