ABOUT US
We believe in the power of creativity to
empower communities
SAMAAJ began its journey as a development communication organisation in 2015 and partnered with a number of regional and international organizations on various projects, ranging from justice to sustainable development targeting a number of beneficiaries all over the country. Over time, our work expanded diversely and we’re now, a woman-led, team of creative professionals taking several important initiatives under the umbrella of SAMAAJ.
We work on various themes, particularly focusing on freedom of expression and gender equality. We at SAMAAJ, view storytelling as an important cross-cutting theme in our work rather than merely using it as a medium. Storytelling continues to be driving force behind SAMAAJ: to be able to creatively communicate untold, unheard stories for a lasting social change.

Our
Programs
This project seeks to create a wider awareness on the issue of child sexual abuse in the country, focusing mainly on minor girls. In order to achieve its objectives, the project has produced a 2-D animation film series for public awareness and a Girls’ Sexual Abuse Prevention Manual targeted at teachers, parents and guardians. The project will also offer a number of workshops, which have been designed to educate minor girls on the crucial issue, using our animated series as educative resource material. Our professionals will use the GSAP manual to conduct 20 teacher trainings to sensitize them on the issue and effectively train them in sexual abuse prevention and coping strategies.
