Mission: To create sustainable livelihoods in rural South Sudan and Uganda. By empowering individuals and communities.

Vision: More livable rural South Sudan, where opportunities are accessible locally. Our motto is “Taking town to people instead of people going to town.”

ARTE employs an innovative approach of Take Tea Together to bring farmers and fishing groups from different tribes and clans to work together and unlearn historical animosities. These people come together over tea to discuss issues affecting their lives. Through these dialogues, tribal conflicts related to land rights and fishing areas are resolved, fostering peaceful coexistence among individuals from different tribes and clans. They have used this as an opportunity to unlearn many negative assumptions that they had against each other’s community.
