WACT – We Are Changing Together
WACT was founded by a group of friends studying at Nova SBE who wanted to make a difference in the world. They had all participated in various volunteering programs and it was in Sao Tome and Principe where they started this adventure. There they came into contact with another reality, learned and watched the impact that their actions could have on the environment around them. They realized that everyone needed to have access to the necessary tools to generate positive change in themselves and others. And it was by looking at volunteering in a different way that WACT, a space for change and the development of Changemakers, emerged!
WACT has the ability to act according to a non-welfarism principle, believing that the best way to change the world is not solely by giving but by sharing knowledge, training people, and achieving equivalent benefits for the volunteer as well as to the local community. We are truly changing together
WACT develops training programs that adapt to your willingness to change and time available. They are available both in Portuguese and English. Welcome!
