OUR MISSION

A BRIEF HISTORY

History here.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Sakha uVelwano Partnership is a global network of students and educators who are committed to enacting empathy-based social change.

Together, our mission is to meaningfully engage with each other while harnessing our collective resources to carry out collaborative projects designed to support, enrich and empower our respective communities.

Meaningful Engagement

We believe that civic engagement starts with an open dialogue. 

Talking helps us to gain a more robust understanding of who we are as people, and of the issues that

affect our lives. As we learn and understand more, we begin to feel each other’s triumphs and struggles as our own.


Collaborative Projects

We believe that sustainable change happens through collaborative work.

Together, our goal is to use the resources we have available to us to address the issues that matter to us. 

By doing this, we work to create sustainable systems of mutual support that enrich and empower our respective communities.

Collective Resources

We believe that everybody has something to contribute. 

Among other things, our resources include:

  • Our Time

  • Our Knowledge

  • Our Skills

  • Our Stories

  • Our Moral Support

  • Our Financial Support

While we recognize that we all have varying amounts of resources, our collective efforts strive for a more equitable balance.
