About Us

Project DEFY exists to bring back Learning into the hands of communities, enabling them to reclaim agency and control over their lives.
We believe that communities have the inherent wisdom and knowledge, to surpass the challenges that they face. We are determined to dismantle the existing learning systems that rob communities of the opportunity to become self dependent and self resilient. We are creating a learning revolution and communities are at the heart of the social change we envisage.
