These are real stories of our youth, our mothers and fathers, our labourers, and our community activists who face unimaginable barriers and sometimes insurmountable challenges along their life journeys. Each of their stories tell, with sometimes brutal honesty, something about our communities and the global world.

Stories for Development shares stories to help improve lives, because sometimes a single story can motivate us to make a difference. Just as these stories inspire Stories for Development, as you read them do not remain witnesses, but rather, become an active agent for change.
