overview

Tamba Africa Social Circus’ main program is Voices From the Margins (VFM), inspired by the UN Leave No One Campaign that seeks to put the marginalised and the excluded at the centre of development as part of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Voices from the Margins is an inclusive developmental and community arts program for the amplification of the voices, concerns
and actions of marginalised youth and the promotion of their rights with a strong focus on young people with disabilities. This program also seeks to engage youth as active agents of social change and transformation.
