The Youth Theater for Peace (YTP) team is very excited to share some more impact news from the program in Tajikistan!

Recently we shared a story about Faroiz, a teenage girl whose work raising awareness about child marriage and education with the local YTP theater group helped inspire 20 girls in her community to continue to 11th grade (the final year of secondary school in Tajikistan.)

“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already within a person.” As I listened to the words of Sanjoy Ganguli, founder of the Jana Sanskriti movement and keynote speaker at a recent conference I attended, I couldn’t help but smile. I’ve always felt that development programs are best when motivated by participants rather than for them.
